Last year, I picked up a couple tubes of silicon heatsink compound from Radio Shack and noted that it had a titanium white color and was very thick. Just a few weeks ago, I went back and bought another tube, only this time the tubing was different and contained more than the tube i bought last year. The new tube contained compound that had a clearer and thinner, greasier solution in it than the 'older' stuff that I bought last year. My question is, which of the 2 is better? I know that the best stuff to use is ACII, but I dont have any at the moment, but do plan on ordering some when I get a better hsf. Anyone have any insights on this?

I fink the first tube will be more effective
cause just fink about it why would they make one that has more and sell it for the same price??
Well but u dun't haf to think bout it
cause even if one is betta the difference won't be significant
