Finally getting some good stuff after using generic best buy crap for a year. Was going to get OCZ freeze but I figured I'd see what everyone else thinks first. I'll be using whatever I buy on my CPU and GPU. Cost doesn't matter.

I was gonna say MX-3 but didn't see it on your list. Guess NE doesn't carry them (Performance PC has it for $14). So out of all that, OCZ Freeze.

Currently I'm using MX-2 and couldn't be happier with the temps and will probably try that newer MX-3 on my next build.

I've used AS and OCZ freeze.

OCZ freeze is my favorite of the two. Used it on my CPU and GPU. Great temps all around.

From what I read on international the Zalman ZM-STG2 is one of the best out there. OCZ Freeze would be a close second.

OCZ Freeze FTW. Non-conductive and full of sticky awesomeness that comes out of the small tube.

I used to use AS5 on everything until I used OCZ Freeze. OCZ Freeze is the one to get.
