Categories > Thermal Compound / Grease > TUNIQ > Tuniq TX-4 Extreme Performance and Exceptional Reliability Thermal Compound

Rating + 1Rating + 1Rating + 1Rating + 1Rating + 1 Stick with what You Know
Pros: It has great reviews.
Cons: Tube size is misleading. The tube is only 1/5 full. Price is too high for what you get. Bundled plastic spreader does not work. Instead of spreading, the paste sticks to the spreader. I had better luck with a business card. Paste is too thick.
Other Thoughts: After reading many positive reviews online, I decided to give Tuniq TX-4 a chance against my standard goto, Arctic Silver 5. Unfortunately, I was unable to get the paste to spread evenly, even when using the recommended spreading technique shown on Tuniq's website. The paste is simply too thick to spread well.

I suppose if I had managed to apply the paste correctly I would have seen results in line with the reviews I read. And I could have probably gotten the paste to spread correctly with some practice. But given the price of this product practice doesn't come cheap, and mistakes are costly. Despite its advertized benefits, Tuniq TX-4 simply isn't worth the price to learn how to use well.

After using this product I realized I should have stuck with what I know. And what I know is Arctic Silver 5. It's a good thermal paste that works well and doesn't come with quite as many headaches.

Rating + 5Rating + 5Rating + 5Rating + 5Rating + 5 Bennie
Pros: ALWAYS THE BEST keeps temps low thanks.
Cons: n/a
Other Thoughts: The trick to using any paste is use a tiny amount in the center of the cpu about the size of a pea . Thats all you need don't over do it or your temps will be high.

Categories > Thermal Compound / Grease > Noctua > Noctua NT-H1 Thermal Compound

Rating + 5Rating + 5Rating + 5Rating + 5Rating + 5 Great Thermal Paste
Pros: Way better than Arctic Silver 5 and Tuniq TX-2. I've tested both and neither as good. This has a 2-3 degree Celsius advantage over the others, and that is quite a bit just for a compound. It came with my NH-D14 and keeps my i7-3770k oc'd to 4.3 ghz at around 30 degrees Celsius idle and never exceeds 40 when playing BF3 or FC3.
Cons: Are there really cons for Thermal Paste? Price is higher than I would like to buy it, but it came with my cooler, so no cons.
Other Thoughts: It is also non-conductive, so AS 5 has nothing on this stuff. Tuniq and this NT-H1 are close, but this beats it by 2 degrees in idle. Great paste, NH-D14 is also a great cooler, great combo.

Categories > Thermal Compound / Grease > Arctic Silver > Arctic Silver 5 High-Density Polysynthetic Silver Thermal Compound AS5-3.5G - OEM

Rating + 5Rating + 5Rating + 5Rating + 5Rating + 5 Enough for Average person
Pros: there is plenty of material in the syringe for a lot of CPU's and other components that need it. It spreads easily into a very thin layer so you don't waste much on an application and only a small quantity stays on finger tip
Cons: price but you have to pay it if want the best out there

Rating + 5Rating + 5Rating + 5Rating + 5Rating + 5 Cleans good
Pros: cleans off the old paste no problems the prep seems to make a good smooth finish ready for new arctic silver paste it is a big enough bottle to do dozens and dozens of CPU's would be my guess at just a few drops each so it won't be soon before you replace them unless you are an IT person that always tearing into computers and upgrading them. NO ODOR noticed
Cons: none

Rating + 5Rating + 5Rating + 5Rating + 5Rating + 5 Love this stuff
Pros: This is the only thermal paste I use. I started using it a few years back when I started building computers. When I first replaced the stock cooler on my P4 with HT I used this and I've been using it ever since. This paste gives excellent cooling performance when applied correctly. I like the grain of rice/ pea method depending on the size of the chip. Much better thermal conductivity than the stuff they put on heatsinks for you from the factory.
Cons: Small tube for the price. I can easily get 10-15 applications out of one tube, but for $12 it just doesn't look like a lot.
Other Thoughts: AMD Phenom II x6 1055t with an Antec Kuhler 620 OC to 3.75Ghz and I idle around 30C and max at 50C in Prime 95
