The cooler I am buying is Arctic Cooling Freezer 64 Pro and it comes with MX-1 paste on it. Should I go get a little tube of arctic silver 5 or will the MX-1 Paste be just as effective? I am going to overclock so even if the arctic silver will make it 2 degrees cooler I would get it.
 
MX-2 is better than AS5, both are superior to MX-1

AS5 has a 200 hour "settling" period including several themal cycles to reach peak effectiveness, MX-2 is good to go straight away.

Tuniq TX-2 performs the same as if not slightly better than MX-2

There are plenty of comparisons on the net, have a Google and read up on the results.

I use MX-2 btw.
 
Well I just am going to use the MX-1 because it is already on there. It shouldn't make to much a difference should it?
