I was thinking MX-2 or TX-2 but I know there are some others. I want to run this on my OC quad and on my 4870. Thanks for any input!
 
I have Arctic Cooling MX-2 paste. The nice thing about it is that there's no burn-in time, so it works right out of the box (err... tube). It's performance is just as good as Arctic Silver 5 in my experience.
 
Can't go wrong with either. Tuniq TX-2 supposedly has a small edge in performance but MX-2 has no burn in time.
 
TX-2 and MX-2 are nearly identical performance-wise, so I would say just go with whichever is cheaper.
 
I use OCZ Freeze and think it is pretty damn good.

There are a few reviews out there usually placing the TX2, MX2 and Freeze all very close.

Really? AS5 is listed as non-conductive but can be capacitive according to thier website.

Exactly. AS5 can still kill hardware while being non-conductive, because a charge can jump between two points bridged by the compound. That's why there were incidents of people killing their VRAM with it on video cards that used older TSOP memory by accidentally bridging the legs with the compound.
