[SOLVED] Thermal paste for a PS3

[rjo98]

Hey there. What would be the best thermal paste to use to help restore an old PS3? Keep reading about Arctic Silver 5 or MX-4, but not sure what is best for this particular instance, or if there's something more appropriate than those.

Arctic Silver 5 has been around forever, shows up in a lot of searches. Not really the best out there for the money.

Arctic MX-4 is a very good multipurpose compound. Should work fairly well on the PS3.

Note that Arctic and Arctic Silver 5 are not from the same company.

Thanks, didn't even realize they were different companies! And i believe MX-4 is non-conductive which is a good benefit, correct?

Most pastes are. Including Arctic Silver 5, far as I recall they took the silver content out a long time ago.
