Which thermal paste

Ive ordered the Arctic Freezer 64 Pro, would the thermal paste that comes with it be good enough or would AS5 be better? Also, how much difference is there between the two.

Hmm interesting, some are saying keep the paste that came with arctic freezer 64 pro and others agree that i should use the AS5. However, is the process of removing the existing MX-1? paste from the 64Pro and applying AS5 really worth it? AS5 costs around £5 and also a cleaning fluid will be needed to clean the surface in the first place (£2 from chemist for some Isopropyl alcohol).

OK, thanks for the replies/help people

I have ordered my Arctic Freezer 64 Pro, i will use the standard MX-1 paste for the time being. I believe that my temperatures will be suitable for my liking. Then when i get newer ram modules (2x1GB) which are decent overclockers, i will reseal the AF64P with AS5.
