Need a thermal paste within 500-600/-

Confused between these two:
1) Cooler Master IC Essential E2 Thermal Interface.
2) Arctic Silver 5.

Will be using it on Phenom x6 1055T @3.5Ghz and MSI HD6850 Cyclone @925Mhz...

Open to Suggestions....

One more question i have tightened my ram latency from 9-9-9-25-34 to 7-7-7-20-27.
Which is the best application to check the performance gain and test stability of the memory.

AS5...Always!! You could also buy AS3... its not so much behind AS5 but its a lot cheaper afaik...

P.S. let me know from where ur buying and for what price. I have been trying to find AS5/Ceramique for a long long time.....

stock paste of your aftermarket cooler is enough

There is no stock thermal paste left..
And every time i clean my desktop i change the thermal paste..

How can be stock thermal paste be enough as every time you clean your hsf you have to change the thermal paste..

Also look for CM Thermal Fusion-400. Will cost around 400-500 bucks.

@OP be careful regarding AS5 as it is highly electrically conductive beside being thermally conductive.Apply it with care so that not a slightest part comes in contact with MOBO.
