Arctic Silver company makes both. Ceramique is newer, but is it better?

I hear alot of great things about ceramique. I've been using AS3 since it hit the market and great stuff. Using ceramique now as a testing goop for my chilled block. It's alot thicker and easier to apply. I also noticed better temps with the ceramique than with AS3.
Both are great thermal compounds, but im leaning over towards ceramique because of the results i'm getting at the moment which are better then AS3.

Using Shin-Etsu here, very please with it but I can't compare it to AS3 or ceramique as I've never used it.

I'm using Nanotherm PCM+. The way it goes on like a liquid makes it easy to apply and remove. I have'nt used anything else since.

You should, it's made by Arctic Silver, though I'm not sure if it's AS 2 or AS 3.

I use the ceramyque and love it , of course I have no comparison as it's the first thing I tried ...
I found a 22g tube for 7.99 here :

Notice they have 2.7 g's of the same stuff for 3.99 you figure ou the savings ...

Yep the 2.7 will last a little bit too ... I think I have used it three times on the Processor plus once on my Vid Card's Ram and Gpu and still have some left ... I chose to get the 22g's while it was on sale so that I probably won't need any for quite a long time ....

Ceramique on the recently installed 3.06. AS3 on the 2.4A that was replaced. Since the processors are different it's hard to make a fair comparison. Ceramique seems to be doing it's job, I have no complaints whatsoever.

Thanks for all the replies, guys, and from the poll it seems that Ceramique is clearly leading.
