If you're looking for fancy stuff \"artic silver 5\" will do it.

Anything beyond AS3 or AS5 is splitting hairs and won't gain you much if anything. Although some types might be easier to clean up than others, but AS3 & AS5 clean up pretty easily with either alcohol or goo-gone.

I use AS3 here. Never had a problem.

I switched to AC MX-2. Same or better performance than AS5 but no \"set time\" and way easier application (lower viscosity).
