the bottle is Nanotherm PCM+/EXP water like solution which is 4-7C better than AS3 after 3-4 days cure time

long thin tubes are Shin Etsu G-751 which are reporting 4-7C better than AS3 as well but alot harder to apply and clean (like putty)

AS3 as you all recognise

Nanotherm XTC Silver about 1-2C better than AS3 after 3-4 days on most tests i've seen in reviews or on par with AS3 for others

Coolermaster compound that came with my IHC-L71 heatpipe heatsink - reportedly has a mixture of some shin etsu in it and applies and cleans easier than Shin Etsu G-751 and performance should be between AS3 and Shin Etsu (closer to Shin Etsu end from the reviews)

unfortunately comparing them will be hard under changing room/ambient temps so I can't be bothered to right now :p
