Rosewill RCX-TC001 Thermal Grease
Great stuff for average Joe
- Pros: You get a good amount for a low price.
It works like a thermal paste should.
Still using it over a year later. - Cons: Not meant for serious overclocking.
Have to tear up the paper along the syringe body to see how much you have left.
- Other Thoughts: This paste is great for the average person looking to add thermal paste to CPUs, GPUs, etc. Having said that, there are other better pastes out there, but they cost more, or you get much less. It's lasted me over a year, with probably over a dozen applications. Just remember to keep the little cap on the syringe, or it will dry out. If you are looking to lower your CPU degrees a few notches, or you are looking to overclock heavily, go with another paste. Otherwise, this is great stuff.

Arctic Silver Arcticlean Thermal material Remover & Surface Purifier ACN-60ML (2-PC-SET) - OEM
This Stuff is Amazing.
- Pros: It works beautifully, plain and simple. 1-3 drops on a cpu is plenty, and it'll literally start pulling off the old paste(several year old, in my case) without hesitation. One set of this will last you through many, many systems. I'll gladly spend the $7 for peace of mind and ease of use.
- Cons: Should REALLY come with a nice washable micro-fiber cloth to wipe off the old paste. They suggest using a paper towel, which is second only to your finger in terms of the worst possible cleaning medium to use. Micro-fiber cloth is among the best things you can use, and causes the fewest issues.
- Other Thoughts: People like me who change paste regularly(reviews, upgrades, customer upgrades) are going to be the main purchasers of this sort of thing, simply because it saves us a fair amount of time.
It wouldn't be such a bad idea for these(and the cloth!) to come in a small case or bag, so it's all in one place. I'd pay closer to $10 for something like that, although it's probably safe to say that at $7, there's probably a fair bit of margin in these bad boys. Of course, as with anything else(regardless of price), the right tool is worth it's weight in gold.

Arctic Silver 5 High-Density Polysynthetic Silver Thermal Compound AS5-3.5G - OEM
Great stuff but!
- Pros: -This stuff works excellently.
- Cons: -There are better out there now.
- Other Thoughts: I now use Prolimitech PK-1 since it's now officially the best.
Arctic Silver 5 was my go to for a long time until they were beaten... and I ran out. :D
Hopefully they come up with something as great as PK-1 so I can go back to them.

ARCTIC MX-4 (4g) Carbon-Based Thermal Compound, Non-Electricity Conductive, Non-Capacitive
Works
- Pros: Easy to apply. Fantastic to work with. Will buy again (if I ever run out) for future builds.
- Cons: If you paint something with it, it will never dry :(
- Other Thoughts: I installed this along with a CM Hyper 212 Evo. Can't say which thing/both contributed to ~5 degree C cooler cpu temps at idle over stock cooler/paste not-OCed.
My Build:
AMD FX-8350 Vishera 4.0GHz (4.2GHz Turbo)
ASUS SABERTOOTH 990FX/GEN3 R2.0
2 x EVGA GeForce GTX 670 FTW+ 4GB
G.SKILL Sniper Series 32GB DDR3 1866
PC Power & Cooling Silencer Mk III Series 1200W Modular Power Supply
COOLER MASTER Hyper 212 EVO
Rosewill THOR V2-White Edition
Windows 7 Ultimate x64
Fedora/Ubuntu Live Sessions when I feel like it ;)
2 x ASUS VE247H 23.6" LED
Future adds:
SSD
Maybe watercooling if/when I get bored and decide to OC

Data Contradiction
- Pros: Good price, small size.
- Cons: The site says the Thermal Resistance is 0.06 C/W, but the package says it's the Thermal Conductivity that's <0.06. I don't know which one's right, but my guess would be the conductivity. That makes it pretty low quality.

Arctic Silver 5 High-Density Polysynthetic Silver Thermal Compound AS5-3.5G - OEM
One of the best thermal paste around
- Pros: 1. This compound is definitely better than the stuff you get with cpu coolers. This is actually my second syringe of A.S. (I used half of the other one, which I bought off of Amaz()n (don't understand why Newegg blocks their competitor's name) for a higher price, but the syringe got lost somewhere and I needed this because I'm building a new rig).
2. You really can't complain. Temps were maybe 5-7C cooler using this compound on my old 90W Athlon 64 x2 4200+ (OCed to 3GHz) so, instead of 60C tops with a CoolerMaster Hyper 135+ and included goop, it was around 53-55C with Arctic Silver.
3. This was my first product that I ever bought off of Newegg, and the shipping was FABULOUS. Arrived in 2 days! and the UPS man personally came upstairs to the 3rd floor where my apartment is and got my SIGNATURE! (I live in a bad neighborhood, so this was great, because most of the packages which *some* deliverymen tend to leave in the lobby tend to get stolen).
I will DEFINITELY be shopping here more often :D - Cons: It doesn't make me sammiches
