Best For pcs: Arctic Silver diamond Thermal Paste

Buy on Amazon

Arctic Silver has been making great paste for years, thanks to a combination of clever design and appropriate materials. This thermal compound is the best you can get and does amazing things when applied by someone who knows what they are doing or something who follow the directions on the arctic silvers website. It monitors both your cpu and gpu temperatures. The density polysynthetic silver thermal compound enhances the compound's performance and long. It allows precise dispensing. The fan is very silent as these fans adjust their speed as required.

This is honestly the best thermal paste you need to have when installing a cooler to a cpu in your new build, or applying a different one to an existing build. The locking bar is still down, so the CPU is secured in there firmly. It is easy to apply, and it does an amazing job.

Why We Like This:

Keep all dust, lint, eyelashes etc
A staple product for anyone who works with cpu's and heatsinks
Goes on very smoothly and covers easily
Easy to use, no mess, and just enough for the job

Best For LED light: Arctic diamond Thermal Paste

Buy on Amazon

We would, of course, be remiss if we didn't mention arctic diamond thermal paste for daily purpose. This is perfect for electronic heat sink, very aforable, easy to use and there is enough for multiple uses. It is made of carbon microparticles, assuring extremely high thermal conductivity. It can squish out the way of the mating sections more easily and give you better overall heat transfer. It is a thermal compound and should work where ever you need good heat transfer.

It is easy to use, not super thick so applied easily. It will apply a few degrees of cooling to your CPU. It is operating at full capacity and is rather quiet. It comes with an ideal consistency, the mx-4 is very easy to use, even for beginners.

Why We Like This:

Helps drops temps in high ambient situations
Leaves a even hair thick layer that is not opaque
Easily spreadable and great cost value

Best For Use: Noctua Great Thermal Paste

Buy on Amazon

Not everyone likes to purchase paste for their daily purpose, but the noctua great thermal paste would be an anomoly. The H1 is a pro-grade TIM solution for enthusiasts who demand both exceptional performance and maximum ease of use. It's top notch stuff even better than Arctic Silver. It's easy to apply and you get a LOT of application out of one tube. The artic silver is thinner, greasier and messier to use.

For the vast majority of thermal paste usage this stuff is golden. It comes very well protected with enough bubble plastic wrap from Amamax. The H1 is the easiest to apply out of all the thermal compounds, and it's pretty much identical to kryonaut performance while being much cheaper.

Why We Like This:

Easy to work with, great thermals
Solid thermal compound, will reduce temperatures by a few degrees over stock paste
Good thermal compound for budget and mid-tier builds
Amazing thermal compound for cpu's & gpu's

Best For Threadripper: Rmal Grizzly diamond Thermal Paste

Buy on Amazon

This is straight-up the best non-conductive thermal paste on the market. It guarantees a simple, pleasant and precise distribution of the paste on your processor or graphics card. It does not improve temps much at idle though it helps a bit on 100% stress testing. It does not spread easily because it sticks to itself like silly putty.

The performance of this paste is on-par with quality paste. It is easy to apply and keeps temps way down. It is good for any one with gumption and hands to build their own or willing to repaste a laptop/ps/gpu.

Why We Like This:

48 c, and cpu intensive apps no longer suffer thermal throttling
Best thermal compound other than liquid metal
Great thermal conductivity when properly applied as a "thin" layer conductive paste

Best For Cpu upgrade project: Arctic Thermal Paste

Buy on Amazon

The arctic thermal paste's superior materials makes sure that it ages well with use. It is perfect for game consoles. It is used to decrease friction between two metal components transfering heat from a stationary object to an object attached to a fan or cooling system. It is made of carbon microparticles, guaranteeing extremely high thermal conductivity. It is easy to apply, has very slick packaging, and is a great deal when compared to most other pastes. It does the job, keeps the components cool.

It is quieter, nearly silent on the home screen. It is also used to decrease friction between two metal components, transfering heat from a stationary object to an object attached to a fan or cooling system. It comes with an ideal consistency, the mx-4 is very easy to use, even for beginners, spatula incl. The game runs fine again while the computer runs much quieter.

Why We Like This:

Works great with raspberry pi and kuma heatsink
Good for xbox, playstation, hp, macbook, dell
New and hot release

Best New Thermal Paste: Ihtp diamond Thermal Paste

Buy on Amazon

The ihtp diamond thermal paste is specially designed for your regular usage and has all useful features. It’s no Liquid Metal but if you are after some basic thermal paste to refresh some old processors this will do the trick. It has the consistency of peanut butter, and is very easy to apply and control with the included spudger. It spreads thick and sticky. It has a slightly thicker consistency than some other thermal pastes (but far from the thickest), and it's still fairly easy to apply whether you're spreading with the included spatula or using a dot/line method.

The retail package includes a wipe, which is good for one use, and a spatula to install the product. It does work quite well, and transfers heat quite well. The extra viscosity is actually a good thing because it helps avoid the thermal "pump out" that can happen in low-pressure mounting applications, such as laptops. The consistency of the paste is good and the package comes with a wipe and spatula, making installation a breeze.

Why We Like This:

Thick paste that is easy to apply evenly
Performs well, sort of a hassle to install
, impressive performance and a solid value
Not electric conductive and non corrosive
