There are better pastes but generally you're talking within 3c performance wise.
Arctic silver is popular because its fairly cheap and readily available anywhere in the world, is easy to apply and performs well.

There are plenty of pastes that on paper have a better spec but in reality it doesn't make that much difference.


I use solely cooler master gel maker nano nowadays because it's what I have,I prefer it because it's thicker personally and needs to be manually spread. I wouldn't be adverse to using as5 though at all.

There's a list with thermal conductivity specs here.

Yes but usually they are pretty close. I think the best thermal paste right now is Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut. Noctua NH-H2 is also pretty good.


Unless you are having thermal issues you are probably fine with Arctic Silver.
