AS3 but make sure you get the real one not the knockoff.

actualy I thought thermagic was supposed to be better thatn AS3, it's just everyone has pretty much bought AS2 or 3 and it's not worth buying new stuff since a tube of AS will last almost forever (if your a normal person :p). do a search on yahoo or something for evergreen technologies or something evergreen and you can find their site.

Ok, i have tested many Different types of thermal paste from the ducks nuts to the dogs ******** and all i have to say is that there is really no difference in what paste you use.

However it does make a difference how you apply the paste.
you cant be too liberal and you cant be a tight arse with it either. it is really up to you to find out the right ammount paste required on your setup. Good luck and best Regards,

i once heard that aplying aproximately 1 grain fo rice on a cpu and molding with a card is the standard best

Artic Silver 3 is the best, it is used by all the gaming and overclocking companies. I would recommend it over any other.
