Thermal compounds are used as adhesive agents between CPU’s or any other sources and heat sinks. These compounds do not conduct electricity but dissipate heat quickly from the source to the sink. So check out this list of 10 best thermal grease compounds and let us know your favourite thermal grease compound in the comments section below.
10. Zalman Thermal Cooling Grease(9.99$)
This paste has very little thermal resistance and, therefore, superior heat conductance hence ensuring the highest performance level of heat transfer between the source & the sink.

3. Arctic Silver AA-14G (7.75$)
Made with micronized aluminum oxide and boron nitride, it will not separate from the heat source. And has better thermal conductivity than most.
Available Here
2. StarTech.com 1.5g Metal Oxide Thermal CPU Paste(2.88$)
1.93 W/m-K thermal conductivity makes it inline with best thermal grease in the market today. Though it contains a metal oxide, it has almost zero electrical conductivity.
