Arctic Silver is a different company. AS-5 is its popular TIM.

If you live in America, the best place I've found is Petra's Tech Shop.

Even thought their prices for everyday hardware aren't as low as Newegg's, they do offer super-low shipping on small items (like TIM).

For example:

If you buy MX-2 from Newegg you pay an additional $7 in shipping via UPS, for ~$14 total. Petra's gives you a 1st class USPS option, making my last order only $7.xx. As an added bonus, the owner writes personal notes in with your order. I got one that said, "Enjoy the MX-2!".

He doesn't seem to have any MX-3 yet but I would imagine he will soon.

Petra's is great for water cooling but they don't usually keep much in stock especilly for air cooling products. I'm a big fan of Sidewinder computers and Jab-tech is very good as well.

Anyways, this stuff is apparently 50% more expensive than MX-2 which I love. I guess it is a little thicker as well, which kind of sucks. I will definetly try this stuff out but I hope AC dosen't discontinue MX-2.
