  No, Ceramique is just Ceramique (I think this is what you mean). AS3 is still silver based paste. Personally, I have found no significant difference going to ceramique from AS3.

  Correct, but the new AS5 is supposed to be better than both.

  AS3 < Ceramique. And I would guess Ceramique < AS5.

  Ive tried the following things:
  
  no thermel paste (doh, that wasnt good)
  standard thermel paste (doh, that was hot)
  as3 (cool much better, but consistency is lost extremely quick)
  as5 (thicker than molasses, keeps chip freezing cold. im all bout it)
  
  go with as5 if ya can

  throw the generic paste away so you are never tempted to use it on anything.

  Why would they even bother to send white grease with it, if most people are never going to use it?
  
  It's not like the SLK is a cheap sink.

  Throw it away? I use that stuff all the time... just not on MY cpus
  
  It's great for slot 1 P3s, P2s, Celerons, Cyrix/C3s, K6s, Pentiums, etc... basically any totally worthless chip. I don't see the need to waste perfectly good (and comparatively expensive) arctic silver stuff on a POS chip.
