Late to the party. But I guess it's nice to have another vendor to choose from

Who cares, I want to get my hands on Fujipoly Sarcon<--Thermal conductivity 17.0 W/mK!

would this be better, or worse, then the arctic silver 5?

It would be worse, mind you AS5 is just OK and takes a long time to cure not to mention the fact that it's probably conductive. Thermal pads are meant for water blocks and vram chips. Use some GC-Extreme or Prolimatech PK-3 for direct die paste applications!

arctic silver 5 is not conductive.................. I do have to ask though, if it's worse, which is what i would think, why would the pads be better for water blocks? because they stick?

I'm not sure if I would trust these thermal pads. If they are of the same quality that I received with my Arctic cooler for a GTX690 I would pass. They could not transfer the heat fast enough away from the VRM's which evidently ended up frying themselves. If they could up the W/mk transfer rate... then maybe. Just my opinion.
