CPU/Mobo thermal paste for core i7

[haraakiri]

I have bought intel core i7 and would like to nanofusion thermal paste. I cannot find Arctic Silver 5 in Hyderabad. Is nanofusion good enough? Please give advice on best ways to apply nanofusion thermal paste.

GElid GC2 beats mx2 too....7gm tube (double than any other TIM) for 7$.

Absolute vfm.

Tuniq TX-2 is right among the top ones too, you can get it via prime ABGB or KMD.

go for any of these- tuniq TX2, arctic cooling mx-2, AS5, CM thermafusion (got it with my v8 )

+1 for the Tuniq TX-2.

The correct way to apply it on an AMD is to apply a pea sized glob at the center of the processor and press down the heatsink, and rotate it a few degrees.

For intels, you need to get a line of paste across the cores.
