...The best thermal paste to my knowledge is Artic MX-4.

Except for Indigo Xtreme, of course (in which case the heatsink is physically welded to the CPU). Cheers, - jahman.

I've been tempted to try it myself. Somebody post a report on how goes it if they decide to try it.

Not compatable with the H50 and many other popular cooling solutions. http://www.indigo-xt...icationnote.pdf

Not 1/10^th of a degree, rather almost 4 ºC over Artic Silver 5, and you don't have to be a serious overclocker, just a regular simmer hoping to reach 4.7 - 5.0 GHz on the 2500K or 2600K you bought so you can run FSX without stutters and a decent FSP over say NYC and KJFK. Many in this community fit that categry. Of course if you don't OC at all, don't boother. With the Indigo Xtreme your pea-size worries are history. Cheers, - jahman.

I think a lot depends on contact but agree that the Indigo looks like a great product except for the throttling CPU issue, incompatibility with several popular cooling solutions. Credit to http://skinneelabs.c...1-mx2-ix-ssg/3/ for test below.

Never new about Indigo, here in India we only get a cooler master paste and not even Artic. I think even I should try for the Indigo Xtreme, but in the chart it is Artic Mx-2 and not Mx-4 .

Hmm you can also double check the heatsink and reseat it.

MX-4 out performs MX-2 by about .6 of a degree. So to deduce in loose terms, MX-4 would result in 70.86 in the test above. Credit to http://www.madshrimps.be/articles/article/1064/ARCTIC-COOLING-MX-4-Thermal-Compound-Review/3#axzz1XPHHsdfd for test below.
