Arctic Silver 5 Vs. Heatsink supplied thermal paste

jozi

Building a pc again for the 1st time in maybe 5-6 years. I got a Xigmatek heatsink which to my surprise was supplied with a small sachet of thermal past. I still have some Arctic silver 5 thermal past from about 5-6 yrs ago, which would be the better one to use?

I'd pick up some new Arctic Silver 5 tbh.

As long as the Arctic silver is still ok id use that if you left the top closed and it hasnt dried out or anything but might be better buying some new Arctic silver

Where would I get some localy in Dublin? I rather not order online and pay more for postage than the stuff cost.

I thought they had closed down!

Don't forget the arcticlean.

Postage has gone up a bit - €9.50 - probably not worth it for one item.

Apart from the OP asking for a local shop in Dublin maybe they are happy to pay 3 quid instead of waiting 14 days for an out of stock item :cool:
