Best thermal paste for GTX295?
I am stripping my GTX295 to replace the thermal pads and paste but which paste is the best for the GPU's?
Arctic silver ceramique maybe?

OCZ Freeze is good and very cheap too. I get a couple degrees better temps with Freeze over MX-2 and AK-455 paste, plus its £2 a tube.

MX-3 is suppose to be better if you can get it to apply right. I've heard it is a pain to get a good mount with it. MX-2 still holds its weight well. AS-5 is showing its age compared to the rest, but seeing GPUs don't really care about a degree or 2 difference, you really don't need the "best" TIM. I would just use MX-2 though.

well you know, have a very good relationship with your waterblock will only increase performance! sometimes i let my waterblocks sleep in my bed with me.... the odd thing is that every morning i wake up with the bed wet.... then realised i should have emptied the block....
in short: love your waterblock, and it will love you.
