Artic Silver 2,3 or Artic Alumina?

Which of these would be better to get? I know Artic Silver 3 probably works the best but its also more expensive. I have about 1.5g of OCZ Quicksilver II left, would I see much of a performance increase with the others?
 
First of all, it's spelled Arctic, not Artic.

Second, just stay with the other compound you have. IMHO, it's not worth the additional cost just to get a CPU that's one degree cooler.
 
Dont be so harsh, both articsilver.com and arcticsilver.com work so its not that big a deal. Arctic Silver 3 is the best but its up to you as long as your stable dont worry about it. Heres a review I did of 3 vs 2 OCModShop
 
Nice review Snowpunk98. I did one for some guys at AMDMB when it first came out. A lot of us still had AS1 and were curious to see if there was any reason to get the AS3. The temps definately were lower with the AS3 after 2 days on 3 different machines. One of the biggest changes was the texture and ease of spreading over the AS1.
Myself I would stick with the quicksilver and get the AS3 when it is gone or maybe AS4 by then.
