I think Ceramique is the don at the moment mate
I always use AS5, works for me.
Using AS5, a Zalman HSF and air-cooling, my A64 3500+ is running at 35C during normal windows usage, so I'm happy enough with it :D
Iirc ceramique performs slightly lower than AS5 but its safer to use since it does not conduct electricity. I use a massive tube of industrial thermal paste. Always have. Have had it for about a year now and have only used half a syringe :D
I still got some AS3, works fine for me :D
AS5, I removed my stock HS, but I put it back on after I got my new mobo. I simply aplied som AS5 ontop of that old grey intel crap and it worked fine! ;) I know I should have cleaned it first but I was too lazy! lol
You know that doesn't help with overclocking ;) Btw i've helped you with your sig ;)
