I heard somewhere that Intel disapproved of Arctic Silver because of its
metal component - but maybe that is just Intel being sniffy...

An old chestnut, maybe, but... I'm planning to attach a Zalman copper
cooler
to my P4 3.0, running on an Asus P4C800-ED board, initially at stock
speeds.
I have a choice between the supplied thermal grease, Arctic Ceramique or
Arctic Silver. Anyone have any thoughts on which is best?

I've read many posts and articles which claim that as good as it is,
Arctic
Silver (3) is probably only worth an extra 1-2deg C reduction in
temperature at best over standard thermal compound (when both are properly
applied). I personally found that I didn't really gain anything when I
changed my white goo for AS3 but then I wasn't being overly careful about
how I applied it.
