Arctic silver 5 and MX-2 are

Arctic silver 5 and MX-2 are pretty much on par in terms of cooling ability, although I think the MX-2 has a slight edge. The major difference is that unlike Arctic silver 5 (which is almost all silver) MX-2 contains no metal at all and is therefore not electrically conductive.

However you can also get MX-3 which offers a slight improvement over MX-2, though that improvement will come at a premium (expect to pay at least 50% more for it.)

You know, you can use brake fluid as power steering fluid in a pinch, but NOT power steering fluid as brake fluid.

So I ponder, can u use thermal paste as tooth paste in a pinch? I jest!

If you want the best you can
