Default Is Akasa 455-5G Thermal paste any good?
Yo!

So i decided to try this one since i'm not satisfied with the paste coming with OCZ Vendetta. They're both silicon based.How much temp difference should i expect maximum and does it worth buying?It costs 6$ btw...

thanks in advance.

Do you have any other choices? MX-2 and OCZ Freeze are pretty good.

You'll probably see an improvement. Stock paste is usually pretty bad.
