Arctic Silver II

[GHz]

I just caught a glimpse of some new arctic silver. On paper it looks great, 99.8% micronized silver, and 8.0W/m*K . Here's a direct link to it: http://www.coolerguys.com/CPUCOOL/access.htm
What do you guys think?

I'd say it's gonna be the same if not, better than Artic Silver 1. It's supposively the same stuff just in a different, smaller packaging.

AS2 is supposed to have 99.8% micronized silver as opposed to 79-82% micronized silver in AS. That could result in more heat dissapation.

AS 1 had nearly the same (if not more) silver per ammount of paste compared to AS 2. What you are reffering to is the purity of the silver, which is equal in both. Despite this, Id say AS 2 will be a little bit better or the same as AS 1 seing as its coming out after the original AS.

I just recieved my tube of AS2 today, and it works like a charm. CPU temp at idle was down 8.5 C, and a whopping 20 C from the previous cheapo generic silicon heat paste. I dont know whether or not its better than its predecessor, but it does work great.
