Arctic silver ii, or compound ?

[Jiayu]

I read that the Arctic Silver thing is good between my CPU (1.2GTD) and HSF. So I did a search on the web. The website below has three AS products. I know that the AS adhesive shouldn't be applied in my case. But what's the difference between the Arctic Silver ii and the Arctic Silver thermal compound here ? Which one should I use ?

I got the arctic silver rev.1 today lowered my CPU temp under full load from 43C to 37C this is with a P3@803 mhz , but anyway

Really? Rev. 1 prefered over Rev. 2? Why is that?

Get rev2. it's supposed to be better, and comes in smaller tubes you dont need all of it. You only need a small dab, so it's cheaper also.

The original AS has two configurations. One for small die chips and one for larger die chips.

The newer AS II is designed to work with any size die. Performance s/b comparable. Go with whatever is cheaper. I think compuwiz had a good price w/ free shipping.
