In this video I wanted to see if one thermal paste outperforms the other.

The room I used for testing does not have insulation and the air conditioner is a small window AC. As a result I had to do my testing on days with similar weather temp and at the same time of the day on both days. Ambient/Room temperature at the time of testing was 72F.

You will do fine with any of these thermal pastes. I personally give the edge to Gelid Extreme, I think it outperforms Noctua by a hair.

As long as you have a decent thermal paste, ambient temperature and air flow in your computer has more of an impact on CPU temp. Make sure you have good air flow and clean out your fans and vents in case they are filled with dust.
