Thermal paste isn't an option!!! Its a requirement

Arctic Silver 5 is my prefered choice

I have one of those Zalman GPU coolers already, you won't be dissapointed Stu. It dropped my GFX card temps by 40C on load

And I have one of those blue Zalman chipset coolers aswell, but it won't fit this motherboard because the giant GFX card cooler is in the way
