PowerEdge R640 Processor upgrade - recommended thermal compound?

I'm about to upgrade 5 R640s from Xeon Silver to a Xeon Gold processors. Is there a recommend thermal compound that Dell advises to use on these servers? Was leaning Arctic MX-6. Is liquid metal an option? Thoughts? Thanks!

I would look into part # R5T0N, which is the thermal grease specific to the server. 

 

Let me know if this helps.

@DELL-Chris H​ Thanks for the reply, just got an email from my Dell sales rep and he said they do not sell any thermal grease. Sent me a link to newegg for arctic silver.

What are your thoughts?

I wasnt certain about the availability, so if they suggest the Artic then I would go with that one.
