So many thermal pastes, but I'm wondering, which is the best for a Celly D 330 Processor at 2.66Ghz? That is what I use for putting in a processor from my old mobo to my new mobo right? Thermal Paste?

If you're not seriously overclocking, then any paste will do.

If your trying to squeeze the last degree out of your cooling, then artic silver is probably your best bet.

The difference between them is only a few degrees. You'll have to make the call on if it's worth the cost difference.

Arctic Silver 5 is consistently rated as the best thermal compound currently available within the consumer market. It costs more, but the quality is simply not matched by traditional silicon thermal compounds. Considering you have a Prescott-based Celeron processor (rather warm chip!), I highly suggest using AS5 for optimum thermal transfer, especially if overclocking.

I don't even know how to overclock, but ok, Arctic Silver it is! I wanna make sure my processor is all ready for my new mobo!
