Pastes with the best performance-to-price ratio are GD-2 7,5 W/mK, GD007 6,8 W/mK, GD900-1 6 W/mK. The most efficient is Honeywell PTM7950 phase-change material is more thermally conductive than the best pastes.

Hi Goorthis, Thank you so much for your visit and your comment. I'm glad you share information with me. Regarding the effectiveness of thermal pastes, it is completely true that the type of paste composition influences its performance (ease of application due to its higher or lower viscosity, durability and thermal conductivity). In this case, the best thermal paste I've tried is the 13.8 W/MK Thermalright TF8, whose performance has pleasantly surprised me despite being carbon-based and metal-free. However, it is considerably more expensive than the 8.5 W/MK Arctic MX-4, and I tend to go with the latter, which is also high output, and gives almost equal results. Although the best in performance, and also the most risky, will always be liquid metal, taking into account the possibility of a short circuit if it touches the tracks of the board, and the possibility of corrupting the base of the heatsink if it is made of aluminum. Some thermal pastes, such as metal-based pastes (which contain some metallic particles), are also electrically conductive, and should be used with caution. For me, the first thing to analyze about a thermal paste is its conductivity, expressed in W/MK (higher, better). From there, and depending on the durability, viscosity, and risk that one wants to run when applying it, one type or another of compound is chosen. All the best.
