i bought cm 212 evo and it has thermal compound inside. but i saw Arctic Silver
5 High-Density Polysynthetic Silver. so what is the difference between these?
 
Solution
For the 212 EVO, their included thermal paste is sufficient. You may see a degree or two difference with the Arctic Silver, but nothing too much. The Arctic Silver is just a better thermal conductor than the stuff bundled with the EVO, and much better than the stuff that comes with stock Intel/AMD heatsinks.
