Hi all, quick question here, I'm looking to buy some thermal compound,
and am wondering if all is the same? Or if there is a better brand I
should buy. I'm just looking on ebay, and the stuff is cheap. Just
wondering, is there varying qualities? Or is it all the same stuff.

They all do the same thing. Arctic Silver has a good reputation but I cannot tell you if it is as good as it's rep or not.

When I buy thermal paste I avoid the very cheapest ones and look for a name that I recognize. I have used Arctic Silver and Antec Formula 5 and both have worked fine (I can't give a thermal comparison because the only temp sensor on my iMac is for the HDD).
