If you're so curious, why don't you try it and report back to us when your CPU fries?

Ok I get it now, you're using the stock HSF which includes the TIM pad. You only need 3rd party thermal grease if you using a special HSF and plan on OCing.

You do not need to use any other thermal paste than that which comes with a third party heatsink. Most 3rd party heatsinks come with thermal paste that is as good as AS5!!!

I wish you'd stop blasting people with this statement. How would ArcticSilver stay in business and people use it and report that it's better than the Thermalright, Gigabyte, Coolermaster, Zalman TIM...if it wasn't in fact superior in some way?

Exactly, ofcourse others are just now coming out with better paste, AS5 is pretty old so its a solid one in my opinion.

Is fancy thermal goop as good as the manufacturers would like you to believe, and as various Junior Overclockers do believe? Nope.
Is it, therefore, a complete waste of money? Absolutely not.
Just be aware that it's not magic, and don't expect the most expensive stuff to work very much better than generic grease.
