Solution Dark Lord of Tech Jun 9, 2014 Most of the time the thermal that comes with the cooler is sufficient. I highly recommend MX4. PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant / Benchmarks Thermal Compound: Arctic Cooling MX4 4g Thermal Paste ($7.24 @ OutletPC) Total: $7.24 (Prices include shipping, taxes, and discounts when available.)
