Cooler Master Thermal Paste or Stock TP?

[Bluescreendeath]

I've ordered a Mugen2 for the 1366 socket...I've heard great reviews about it.
Should I use the paste that comes with it in a lil tube, or should I use my own
Cooler Master thermal paste in a syringe?

I know that the ones you buy yourself is usually better, but the Mugen2 had very good reviews,
so maybe their TP is good as well?

I'd just use what's included usually, I know that Noctua packages nice TP I've heard. I personally use OCZ FreeZe tho.

hmmm?

EDIT: Sorry i said Nocuta for some reason, lol. My friend's gaming rig Ci7 920 has a MUGEN II with the suppied thermal paste. His temps aren't that high at all.

ah, I see. lol

Yeh, Mugen2 is a great cooler. The heatsinks and fan are great. But I wonder if I still can get even better cooling with cooler-master TP.

O well, I don't think it really matters right? At the max, TP only affects maybe 2-3'C temperature change?

IMO TP is TP and I didn't see a difference from OCZ FreeZe or CM TP. Maybe a slight change the FreeZe got 1-2' lower.
