whats the best thermal conductor BESIDES arctic silver? I do not like the fact that artic is so strong and that it may be permanent.

Could someone give me the second best one? And maybe a URL to buy a small bit from?

Are the ones that come w/ Alpha Heatsinks any good?

Artic Silver is not permanent. Artic Silver Epoxy is.

Yup, only the Artic Silver Thermal Epoxy sticks, its made for sticking small fans n stuff to video cards and chipsets.
Get the Artic Silver 2, using it, and lapping a heat sink it dropped my temps 7 degrees.
