I agree, price does factor in a bit. There's a dude on ebay that sells the OCZ Freeze (worldwide), hope its cheaper in regards to the exchange rate.

Not a simple quest at all, actualy. There are so many criteria on which to judge thermal compounds.

Also, electrical conductivity can be a problem. There are ceramic thermal compounds that don't conduct electricity just in case you need to use it where that would be an issue. The silver based compounds conduct electricity.

Right now the best performers seem to be MX-3, TX-3 and Indigo Xtreme. I use MX-3...

I just received a heatsink with some intresting heatsink compound, the tx-3. It says the thermal conductivity of 6.2, but ive been using and still swear by my other heat sink compound, Innovation Cooling Diamond (uses atual diamonds in it) it thermal interface is 4.5, but i swaer and every one else swears its always a 10 to 5 degree difernce in thermal transfers. So any sudgetions on whitch one I should go with
