Arctic Silver 5 or Actic MX-4 for GPU

Hi, I have a Sony Vaio with a GT 540M and it seems to be throttling at 72oC. I was wondering which one is best to help stop the throttling?

Also use a decent cooling pad if you do not use one yet. Cooler master U-series are nice.
But the proper solution is: get a desktop.

Hi Nikola, thanks for the answer! Not really looked into cooling pads before so shall have a look. I need the laptop for the portalblity so unless their is a portable desktop that I do not know off? Thanks again
