Any opinions/reviews for top 3 thermal paste?

I need to get some, and asking for top 3 because I might not be able to find one or the other.

PK3 has been doing great for me. Only used Arctic Silver in the past, and PK3 dropped my idle and load temps.

Yep I'll second the GELID GC Extreme. Way better than AS. My temps went down 7* C using this.

as5 was the best in 2004. A lot has changed in the cooling game.

Surprisingly AS5 Still holds its own... after its extremely long curing time. Much better though to go with something modern that requires little to no curing.

My top 3 would be:

Gelid GC Extreme
MX4
PK3

A well applied paste is much more effective than an an expensive one.

The oldschool p4 I use at my shop actually has hedgetrimmer gearbox lube (essentially lithium grease) as a thermal paste. Been 3 years now. Dont give 2 craps about the temps. Works just fine
