Is there anything better than Arctic Silver 5 for near the same price?
I prefer Zalman STG-1 because it is easier to apply/remove. Both have same performance.

I found Arctic Cooling MX-2, which had 90% favorable review on Newegg. Anyone have experience with this?
MX-2 is awesome stuff.
What about Tuniq TX-2?
Why you need anything better?

once upon a midnight dreary, while i pron surfed, weak and weary, over many a strange and spurious site of ' hot xxx galore'. While i clicked my fav'rite bookmark, suddenly there came a warning, and my heart was filled with mourning, mourning for my dear amour, " 'Tis not possible!", i muttered, " give me back my free hardcore!"..... quoth the server, 404.
can you really ruin anything by spreading it? i thought the whole point was the paste was a conductor, therefore, it doesnt matter how much you use, it still going to conduct the heat towards the sink.
I do it like that...xGj wrote:

I decided to go with the MX-2.
I didn't want something metal based, if possible.
