Yay, Upgrade time! - Inspire me with hardware I can buy =-D
JavaJones:
AS5 will do you fine. The only people who should care about the differences are overclockers.

That's what I thought... but this time I went on newegg and looked up arctic silver and got more than a page of hits, so I felt a bit overwhelmed :)
f0dder:
Forget about arctic silver, just use whatever thermal pad comes with the stock heatsink - really, you're not going to be able to measure a difference. The biggest benefit AS had was that it's electrically conductive and thus could fry the AMD CPUs that came without heatspreaders.
Carol Haynes:
Not sure but I think the warranty that comes with most CPUs is dependent on using the stock pad if you buy a retail package.
wraith808:
Yeah, but I've had a bad experience with stock fans/pads... so I'm waffling on which to use.
