which is the best? best for its price? is artic silver a must for thermal grease? i still have a syringe of some silver grease i bought 2 years ago should i not use it? thanks 🙂
 
There's only $14.00 difference from the lowest price to the highest price. (worst to the best) You pay for what you get. Everyones recommending the Taisol CGK7600 with the copper base insert. Thats what i'm going for. Thats my 2 cents worth.
 
If you want to reach 1.4 with decent temps then go the Taisol CGK760092, Most of those might work, some better than others. But for decently quiet and good function the Taisol is probably best from that list.

And I have owned an Alpha (delta fan and yes it is loud) and really liked it, but the Taisol offers the same copper bottomed insert and much more surface area. A quieter fan would work better on this sink.
