grease compound
Which of these 2 Thermal Compounds do you recommend i use? HELP!?

Thermal Compound question – Should i use the ARTIC SILVER?
I’m fitting a new CPU and a new ‘SunbeamTech Core-Contact freezer’ heatsink/cooler. The new heatsink comes supplied with “TX-2 Thermal Grease” (Link below)

I also have some “Artic Silver 5 Thermal compound” (Link below)

So which should i use for the best? My heatsink instructions tell me to use the TX-2. So do you think i should do as the instructions say or use the Artic Silver instead? Thanks, Paul

I use to use the Artic Silver exclusively but I’ve seen some great reviews on the TX-2 and since the TX-2 was provided I would use it. Check the link to thermal compound test below.
