Which goop to use on NV5 & later a new northbridge cooler?

Pretty straightforward. Gonna mount my NV5 silencer at some point. I've got AS3 leftover and plan on ordering more, as I hear AS5 is more of a bitch than AS3 was.
I AS is fine for the GPU, but that ASC should be used for the memory. Recommendations/experiences?

Also, I plan on replacing the stock northbridge heatsink on my K8N Neo Plat eventually; is ASC the stuff to use there also? Thanks!
 
I just replaced the northbridge hs with a vantec iceberq. I used As3 no problems so far. I wanted to go passive, but none of the zalman hs would fit with a dual pci graphics cooler. I use speedfan to turn down the fan and i can't hear it at all over my other fans. And my nb temps are 17-25 load. my room is freezing cold though, old college house with ONE heater vent int eh family room, so that might help my temps haha.
 
Id use Artic Silver Ceramique if I were you. Its easier to apply than as5 and safer too. The temp difference between the two is very minimal 1-2 degrees celsius at the most.
 
I my opinion, I'd just go with the AS3 you've got. No sense in spending the money or wasting time for something that will make maybe a 1 degree difference. AS3 is good stuff.
