 The thermal compound that comes with this aftermarket heatsink....is it good enough to use?

well, i went with after market thermal paste on mine, becasue i oc the hell out of everything i own. if you are using your pc and dont care about pushing it to the limits, it will be fine.

also, if you are going for after market thermal paste, go with tuniq tx-2 or tx-4. i love the tx-2, dropped my gpu temps about 10c under full load.

i've read this and from my experience i kind of agree, though metallic pastes are better. The way you apply it matters more

i've heard that most of the name-brand thermal pastes are pretty equal, for me, my heatsink will come with gelid extreme, so gonna use dat. tx-2, tx-4, mx-4, liquid silver.... can't go wrong with any of those
