so the budget is tight, and i need thermopaste. the options are :
~5€:
Cooler Master Thermal Compound "GREASE: IC VALUE-VI"
deepcool Thermal grase Z5 universal
deepcool Z9 thermal grease universal

~7€
Arctic MX-4 4g
Arctic MX-2 4 g

i don't need the best performance, just price and performance/quality ratio needs to be good.
thanks in advance.

Artic gets my vote out of those. They run very close to each other.
I havent seen any results on Deepcools stuff but the Value is pretty bad, running about 10 degrees hotter then the artics.

Found a review of Deepcools Z9 and it runs neck and neck with the artics so it appears that might be your best budget paste.

Arctic silver 5 is the best paste you can get for reasonable price.

The other arctics like mx-4 and mx-2 are good, too. I would avoid the other crap you listed since I have not even heard of it.

i USED cooler master thermal paste that came with 212 evo cooler you see for 19.99 or 29.99 ebay amazon and I get temps of 27 29c idle and 43c load gaming witcher 3 I compared this to PK 3 which is suppose to be better than artic silver the cooler master paste was the one that lowered the temps the best.
