Which paste to use on EVO and 960T?

[Stealth3si]

I have a 7 year old AS5 compound lying around and the Cooler Master Thermal paste that came with the EVO.

Are any below go really well with EVO HSF and 960T?

Shin Etsu G751
OCZ Freeze
TIM Consultants T-C Grease 0098
IC Seven Carat Diamond
MX2
AS5
Cooler Master EVO paste

I would probably throw the 7 year old compound away rather than risk it. It's not like paste costs a thousand dollars an ounce. My opinion is that they're all pretty much the same so you might as well use the Cooler Master EVO paste.

i use Arctic Silver 5

Tuniq tx-2 is also good stuff

How about a paste that's great for overclocking? Something that would give me headroom for medium to heavy overclocking in the future.

EDIT: I also found some old paste stored away.

It's called the Arctic Silver Ceramique and Zalman Thermal Grease CSL 850.

UPDATE: I have my eye on the Prolimatech PRO-PK1 now. Seems to be the best and costs the least, albiet with 1g. Would this work on the EVO heatsink (CDC technology) and 960T CPU?

Diamond powder paste is the best.

As5 is good enough for overclocking,just make sure the hsf is good enough.

hehe - some of it is almost $1000.00 an ounce. the diamond dust stuff i used last was about that but the current arctic diamond 7 is 28 for 4gram or about $200/ounce.

OK. I hear what you'll have to say: any of them would do fine.

Although I would like to use a different paste that looks more interesting to me anyway. I might go with the Prolimatech just to try something relatively new and more 'exotic/premium.'
