What is the difference between Arctic Silver 1, 2, and 3 Thermal Compound. And if i get and use any of these what one should i get and will it make a difference compared to the one that came with my intel 1.7gh?

Yes, its the AC III is the best you can get, but even at that, i will only drop your temps at 4C probably at the most. Are you having heat problems?

check out sites such as www.amdmb.com they have a good cooling article someplace there.

The thermalright AX-7 (uses 80cm fan) is the best you can get right now but its close to $30. Remember, one fan in front blowing in, one fan (with the power supply) sucking air out.
