The better thermal paste for Q6600 and Ultra extreme

[malik22]

Hi guys


Im getting a ultra extreme this week the store im ordering from only has a few choices in thermal paste what would be better for a Q6600 G0 and a ultra extreme.

Artic silver 5
Coollaboratory Liquid Pro
Coollaboratory Liquid MetalPad

The store doesnt have Mx 2.

how bout Thermalright Chill Factor?

[Emerica]

I just use AS5 because I don't think there is really that big of a difference between all of the different choices. I haven't heard anything bad about Coollab Liquid Pro.

how bout Thermalright Chill Factor?

It comes with the Ultra extreme right is it any good with quads ?

[Morais]

Tuniq TX-2.

[Bobsama]

Arctic Cooling MX-2.

[malik22]

will i be ok with the Coollaboratory Liquid Pro If im careful cause a cuople of degress lower than Artic silver 5 means alot on a QUAD.

[Ar3s]

so far they have shown the thermalright chill factor did get similar temps to as5, mx-5 and tx-5 are a deg or so lower on both idle and load. ocz freeze isn't better than these. noctua nt-h1 did get lower by a couple of degs. coollaboratory liquid pro is better if applied correctly. shin-etsu isn't the leader anymore.

I have used the Artic silver 5 for a long time, but now i love even better the
Artic silver 5 ceramic

Thx for your help guys but I can only get one of the paste posted above thats all they have at the store im getting the ultra extreme from im not in the states.Has anyone treid the Coollaboratory Liquid MetalPad how does it compare to the liquid?

I wont be lapping either the cpu or heatsink so do you think I would get good contact with coollaboratory liquid pro? And if the chillfactor is about the same in temps then theres not much point in be buying artic silver 5.

Oh :banana::banana::banana::banana: don't get the Coollaboratory Liquid Metal Pad its bad.. i got it and i placed it correctly and i burnt it in. Still got worse temps than mx-2 for me.

this was the review i saw. doesn't look that good for as5. who knows if it burnt in for 200hours they may be a 1deg drop or not ?

Thx for the review is Noctua NT-H1 any good I can order that too from my store.

[Rob94hawk]

MX-2. Got it from newegg. Used it for my cpu and gpu.

[malik22]

I would get mx2 but theres none where I live and my local store has the ones I mentioned above im not ordering from another country just for a thermalpaste.
And has anyone tried the Noctua NT-H1 is it any good?

[Ar3s]

yeah the NT-H1 is better but its much thicker. so a little should do the trick. its better by just a degree so if its available there just get that then.

[Demo]

It comes with the Ultra extreme right is it any good with quads ?

I think the ones that come with the TRUE is a regular silicon paste, Get MX2 instead

[Andrew LB]

I first tried the thermal goop that came with my TRUE and after a week I removed it and replaced it with MX-2. My load temps dropped 4-5'c with MX2 over the garbage silicon paste that came with the cooler.

[zsamz_]

try getting mx-2

[CERO]

Mx-2
