Hello everyone
I recently posted a thread asking about the best thermal pastes to use on my CPU (which now i'm considering for the GPU as well), and i have come to the conclusion that the Noctua NT-H1 and the Arctic Cooling MX-4 are the most suited for me, because they are both relatively inexpensive, come in a decent amount, are not electrically conductive, and are easy to use.
However i'm a bit torn between which one to get, i know the differences are slim, but if i'm going to do this only once every year, i may as well be thorough.
So, which of the two offer the better performance for an air cooled laptop (Alienware M17x R4, CPU: 3720QM, GPU: GTX 675m), and is the most forgiving for rookie mistakes?
note: i have also considered Prolimatech PK3 which is the better performing one, but i am not quite certain about its electrical conductivity properties, and it also costs more dollars per gram (not to mention it comes in only 1.5gms as min amount)
