Ahhh

I am taking my 1 year old pc appart to due some well deserved cleaning, and also am looking to due a fresh install of window.....ahh nothing sexier then a fresh install.
ANY way back to the ahhh!!!. I just took my aero 4 cooler off of my 3.2C and it is bone dry. What is the best cooling thermal paste out there right now. As you can see its been a year. Oh how the tech changes.... IS it still artic cool thermal or is there a new better player in town. A little FYI so I can go get some and put this beast back together.......I knew that that overclock was running hot the past couple of months.
EERRRR now you can feel my AHHH
