Difference between ASII and ASIII?

[DaveSauce]

I'm using ASII right now, and I still have half a tube left....would it be worth it to buy a tube of ASIII? Is there a difference between them, or would I just be wasting my money?

From what I hear, maybe 1-2c maybe even 3 c difference.

If 1-3c will make a difference with your o/c and stability, then go for it.
If not, save your money. ASII is already pretty good.

III-II=I

not much difference really. i still have my as2 halfway used. and im not itching to get an as3. thermal dissapation performance increases are minimal.

Well 2-3 degrees maybe from Arctic Silver 2 however, if you convert I advise you just to lap your heatsink for like 5-10 mins with a high grit to take off the previous AS2 in the sanding marks in your heatsink to get the full performance.

I say just stick with the ASII. By the time you use that up ASIV will be out, and they you can expect to see a 2-4C differance.
j/k

I'd stick wth AS2. I haven't ever really noticed the differance... You can more than amke up the 1C differance of AS3 by doing just a perfect job applying the AS2.

The only difference I've really noticed other than the 2°C drop in temps is that I don't have to reapply it as often.
