AS2 Epoxy is a permanent or semi-permanent glue that conducts heat very well. AS2 is thermal epozy that works well (AS3 is out now and works even better), and Arctic Alumina is an aluminum based thermal coumpound almost as good as AS2. Slightly cheaper.

artic alumnia is like ceramic based or somethin and it is non conductive and non capacative,where ASII is non conductive but it is slightly capacative and the epoxy is meant to be permanent

Arctic Alumina is a thermal grease. For your Voodoo 3, you will need epoxy, in the form of Arctic Silver epoxy for the best thermal contact and thermal conduction.
