Which do you prefer?

Arctic silver 3 is what I have always used but need to get some more for my Athlon 64, soooo00?

    Going from AS3 to AS5 dropped my temps from 52-54C down to 46-49C. So, I'd recommend AS5. I've tried a bunch of different thermal pastes and have found that the Arctic Silver pastes have been the best so far.

    Get AS5
    If you want the best, buy the best.

    Went with the AS5. Seeing that I have some AS3 left, I can try both :cool:

    Been using AS3 ... Have 1 full tube left, but I might try AS5 for my next build.

    Just curious, what brand makes arctic silver? The reason why I am asking is that I bought at the store some Antec Formula 5 stuff and want to compare.
