[lapdog]

I would like to use this product but not sure what

Just the size of the opening on the application end.
That's the only difference.

thought someone mentioned that the large surface area flavour was less viscous & had a lower percentage of silver than the small area variety!
anyone know for sure!

The stuff inside is the same . The openings are different like Viperoni said

Actually, both versions use exactly the same syringe. The difference is the viscosity of the compound. Large Contact is a little thinner so it is easier to spread in an even layer over a large area and works better with the lower attachment force of most large contact area heatsinks.

Do'H!!!
Then I shoulda bought the large contact area version!
Wish I would have known that before I bought my AS

how big is the difference between the two? i am going to buy some AS, but don't want to buy two syringes for my cpu's and video cards, as i don't need that much. i don't imagine the difference could be that great in that if you used the small area grease on a large area contact or vice versa and lose too much performance.

do you put arctic silver on the core and heatsink or just core
