thermal compond cpu

[bookout1958]

what in your opinion is the best cpu thermal paste for lower temps?

Cooler master mastergel maker nano is my choice.

Many swear by kryonaut grizzly but I've personally never used it.

I wouldn't worry about it too much, the difference between a decent compound and a great one is only a couple degrees (excluding liquid metal).

If you want lower cpu temperatures, look first to a case with good air intake capabilities.
two 120/140mm front intake fans should be sufficient.
A good airflow is needed for any cooler, air or liquid to work properly.

Next, look at the radiator or fin capability of the cooler.
All heat transfers will be to air.
Better coolers on the liquid side will have two 120mm radiators and on the air side will have two 120mm towers.

The last consideration is the thermal paste.
It is probably a more academic exercise since the paste that comes with a cooler will do the job.

I don't know that a couple of c. difference is worth getting all worked up about.

Dont use generic only or very cheap ones.
