I'm ordering [url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835181040[/url] for my EVO, and figured I might as well replace the stock thermal paste. Recommendations? I was thinking [url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835100007[/url] Probably going to use it for my EVO and the GTX 680 I just got.
IIRC, you don't really need anything too intense for Thermal Paste. Most of it makes no difference, and only the really high end makes a total difference of ~3-5 Degrees (Celcius) cooler. But yeah, that'll do just fine.
Artic MX-4 is a good one too.
Best I'd actually go with is IC 7 Carat.
I don't think aftermarket paste makes a difference unless you have a high end cooler

I know it's not a big difference, but that plus it on my GPU plus installing W8 plus various other tweaks = a lot of performance increase.

Man, I'll never understand the amount of effort he puts in to be wrong.

Please don't buy arctic silver, it's outdated. [url]http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/thermal-paste-performance-benchmark,3616.html[/url] This is a fairly recent roundup of thermal pastes.
You want Diamond based thermal pastes since diamond has the best thermal conductivity. I've heard the best is Innovation Cooling's Diamond.
[url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835209053[/url] Like that? I can get it dirt cheap at work. (For cost)
That would be pretty great.
Just use the stock paste [highlight](User was permabanned for this post ("gimmick" - postal))[/highlight]
