What kind of thermal compound?

[mpetrie]

I am going to be installing a Zalman Passive Chipset Heatsink on my SY-K7V Dragon Plus! motherboard and i plan to use Arctic Silver thermal compound. The question is what kind do i use? What is the best one? I plan to overclock, so i want good stuff. Any tips?

Thanks

My vote goes to Arctic Silver 3 as well - great stuff - great performance ... be sure you get the real thing and not imitation (suggest you buy from a respectable merchant).

Sure, from what it looks like on their site, they have a sale on Arctic Silver 3 - only $6 :)
