Best thermal compound for AMD CPU's

[Johnny Baker]

A few weeks ago, I began a thread about a problem I was having getting Windows 10 installed on my new SSD, for an all AMD gaming build. Well, after several days of trying this and that, this and that, I finally contacted MSI support for my MOBO. MSI, without any hesitation, even though it was outta warranty issued an RMA to repair it. Well, it is about to be returned, after being repaired and I will need to re-install all the pieces, parts, and wires. I purchased the AMD 8 core FX 8350, 70, or 90 with the Wraith cooler, of which I am wholeheartedly happy with to include it's performance. I need some advice as to the best thermal compound to use in re-joining the CPU and heat sink together.

Anyway, help
