Air is air....you probably won't get much better than you have. The HT-101 is no slouch. Save some money and go water. The Tt "big typhoon" is considered the best for air right now.

Arctic silver 5 is also considered the best thermal paste.

I don't see any reason to buy anything other than the Big Typhoon because of it's proven track record. Also, I'm willing to bet that the OCZ compound is actually AS5 relabeled. I highly doubt that OCZ makes cpu compound and are simply relabeling a product to resell like they do with psus and ramsinks. If you look at the thermal properties of that compound, it's identical to AS5.

Anyway how will the Typhoon fit on the MSI board (NEO4)...and is it better than the DFI room wise?
