I have been looking a thermal paste and have came across these which seem to come recommended: Arctic Cooling MX-4, Arctic Silver 5 , Promiltech PK-3 and Arctic Silver Ceramique 2 Tri Linear

Are these considered high end thermal paste or should I consider using different compound?

Any suggestions and advice would be helpful thanks.

The PK-3 seems to do better than the MX4 according to these results..?
 


I've not tried all of them, MX4 is good, but these results are very accurate. And PK3 is very high quality compound.

Hi, when comparing the MX4 and PK3 I see it performs slightly better or equal in every facet except Usability subjective. What is this do you know?
