Is the brand of thermal paste really that important or rather the cooler?

Just Plain American asked:


So my computer should arrive today, and i have the joy of building it. The cooler (V8 coolmaster) comes with thermal paste. I want to know what difference the actuall brand of thermal paste makes. I have a feeling its a myth or that you see very little difference and the actual decrease in temperature is very nominal. What are your thoughts?

Btw, I will most likely use the tape with credit card application for a thin even coat.
