For a desktop i've rarely cared about thermal paste other than to make sure its a decent brand that wont decay after a few months, but now i've got a fussy laptop that loves to crank the fan up and down while doing light load, and figure a regrease with something newer than 5 year old arctic silver ceramique might be in order.
probably buying from PCCG - so whats your recommendations for the best thermal transfer, knowing that its gotta last a few years in a laptop environment?
