Arctic Silver will perform ever so slightly better. But I like Arctic Alumina because it is completelt non conductive and it cost less. For an adheasive I sugest Actic Alumina 2 part epoxy mixed 50/50 with regular arctic alumina.

I really liked Arctic Alumina over AS3...although, AS5 is looking good. Has anyone tried it? http://www.arcticsilver.com/as5.htm

Hey all! Just got Arctic Silver 5 and done my burn-in tests. I really wanted to know which one was the best and I am Still happy to say that both performed equally (although I was hoping that AS5 would come out on top ![]() Anyway, I know a lot of people are asking which one is best, Arctic silver 5 or Ceramique? The answer is any of them would do fine. AS5 is easier to apply (but slightly capacitive, http://www.arcticsilver.com/as5.htm) than Ceramiue (a little bit dense) but aside from that, I'm very happy with both. Oh and Ceramique is neither electrically conductive nor capacitive (http://www.arcticsilver.com/ceramique.htm). I love both ![]() ![]()

Now Arctic Silver 3 performs roughly the same as ceramique, Ceramique requires little if any time to settle, but Arctic Silver 5 is good stuff. I have tinkered with AS-5, AS3, Thermagon-2500, Shin Etsu G-751 and Shin Etsu X23 varients recently. You should avoid both Old stock Nanotherm PCM+ and New Stock PCM+ as it has serious issues, Swiftech recently has made public that they do not recommend ANY Nanotherm products with their heatsinks or waterblocks due to PCM+ oxidation and corrosive issues. If you want the best buy some Arctic Silver 5, but have a little patience to see optimal performance. Also Use Arctic Silver's new method of spreading the paste if your a P4 user, Go right to step 10 here: http://www.arcticsilver.com/arctic_s...structions.htm I was skeptical at first but this method is excellent advise. PS: In about 7 more years at the rate I'm going I should have enough posts to get into the Classifieds to check for trolls activity ![]()
