ArctiClean is a two-step cleaning process that removes existing thermal
grease or pads and prepares the thermal surface for a fresh application of
thermal interface material.

Arctic Silver 5 is optimized for use between modern high-power CPUs and high
performance heatsinks or water-cooling solutions.

Acrtic Silver is probably the best. Other than that, NanoTherm is good.
But, if you are not overclocking, pretty much any thermal compound will
work.

Hi Guys,
When applying the Arctic Silver, do I apply a blob of compound and apply the
heat sink or do you need to spread it out evenly first?

You only need a dab the size of a piece of rice. Then spread it out as
thinly as you can with a business card. Too much is no good. Throw away what
comes off on the card.

As you wish, but I wouldn't recommend that to anyone.

most likely to get hot spots because it is not evenly spread around.
