MX-2 is my first choice because it spreads nicely and has great performance. Have also used Ceramique, Chill Factor, and Arctic Silver 5. However, I only use AS5 on devices with Integrated Heat Spreaders to avoid the "capactivie issues" if you get it on the traces. Easiest to just use a non-conductive, non-capacitive TIM like MX-2.

They are all within a few degrees so just get whatever is accessable and inexpensive.

There are plenty of TIMs that perform equally good IMO, here's an 80-way comparison from BMR

I've been using Noctua NT-H1 for a year & change now, good enough for me =P

It is one of the most popular pastes around so it is pretty likely. Even the small store near me that only carries 3 kinds of paste has this.

OCZ Freeze is easily one of the best, beaten only by IC7. Is is non capacitive or conductive as well, so you don't have to worry about your precious GPU.
