Mwave has the Arctic Cooling MX-2 Thermal Compound 1.5-gram syringe for $0.99 with free shipping. This review finds that it is 3-4% better than Arctic Silver 5, which has been a trusty heat sink compound for many years.
I've found a couple degree difference, but more important for long term, high thermal density scenarios is that it's synthetic rather than silicone oil based grease.
I've found that the choice of cooling compound makes zero difference and it's all marketing BS.

Doesn't work well to cool a hot stinky tomato...
