Which thermal paste?
I was wondering between Tuniq TX-2, Artic MX-2, and Artic Silver 5 which one would be best for ease of applying, and cooler temps. From what I've read TX-2 would be the way to go with the exception of the time of the reviews the reviewer couldn't state how long it lasts before needing to be reapplied. Thanks again guys

Personally I would go with OCZ Freeze. Don't really know about other TIMs as OCZ is all I use. It's not metallic based so there is no fear of conductivity. And there is no curing time.

I've used OCZ Freeze, TX-2 and Arctic Silver 5...the Freeze seems to be the best, and it doesn't punish you as much as the others for using too much paste...but you say it's not available. The TX-2 was very good, and like the Freeze, it's pretty easy to use. Results are pretty immediate.
Arctic Silver 5 works great, although you won't see the full effects for a week or so, and you'll want to turn your rig off for several hours a day (and run it pretty hard when it's on) to maximize the "cook and cure" effect on that paste (it gets better over successive hot/cold cycles). edit: I sure hope the OCZ Freeze isn't too hard to find - I just ran out of mine! Luckily, I had some AS5 in the freezer.
