Actually, the Arctic Cooling MX-1 compound which comes pre-applied to the heatsink has consistenly out-performed Arctic Silver 5 in tests, by quite a margin in many cases.

Regardless, it's a great cooler. I've got the 64 version on my X2 3800+ and idle at around 27C with the fan throttled right back to 5V.
