Guru3D Thermal Paste Roundup 2019 5

Thermal paste is an often-overlooked part of most computer setups. You can simply use the pre-applied stuff, or the thermal paste that comes with your motherboard, and still get reasonable processor temps at stock speeds. Thermal paste is a compound that helps to fill the gap between the CPU and a custom cooler.

MX4 is better than it, and the MX4 is dirt cheap

MX4 is pretty bad nowadays. Loses all its properties in just weeks. And doing even worse. Nice temps you are only getting for a short term, but eventually you can end up with temperatures much higher, than before MX4. A lot of thermal pastes are actually drying out pretty quick and losing thermal properties. So longevity tests would be much more useful, than thermal.

excellent review, need to order some paste myself soon, so this really comes in handy atm.

btw hilbert it would be "cool" if liquid pro/ultra could be added next time.
Im using their ultra since years atm.
-edit- I see they also have a new one called extreme. https://www.coollaboratory.com/product/coollaboratory-liquid-extreme/

I'm surprised Arctic Silver 5 does soo poorly when it has a very respectable thermal conductivity figure.
That's been my paste of choice for years. Time to switch up!
