    Experience is something you don't get until just after you need it.

    Re: Artic Silver

    It's still one of the best, but i personally prefer to use Arctic MX-4 over AS5 for the following reasons:

    1. No curing time
    2. Easier to both apply and remove
    3. Long shelf life/durability (they claim it's good for up to 8 years once applied... Not that i'd ever keep a PC for that long )
    4. Performs just as good as AS5, or even better in some cases.
