Hi

I will be changing my processor soon

Last time I had a small quantity of a thermal paste left over which I had used

This time I will have to buy a new one.

I will not overclock my CPU (Probably a 1055T or a 1090T)
As such dont want to spend much on the paste

Which paste should i go for ?

Any of these are good ?

Or should i stick to Arctic Silver 5 which costs about 600/- online

Thanks for advising
 
I would suggest to go with known and trusted pastes. I myself using Arctic Silver 5 from 2.5 years on 955BE. However one needs to be careful while applying it and it also takes some time (5-6 days) to have proper effect.
 
I'd recommend Arctic Silver 5 or better yet Tuniq TX 4 (if available)
and yeah, I wouldn't buy the grey market no name thermal pastes you have in the links.
