Arctic Silver 5 Thermal Compound

Comment:
Still one of the top performers for thermal paste. Cheap for it's quantity compare to other brand names.

Comment:
Used it on GPU and some chips, does incredibly good job cooling my video card.

Comment:
Quite simple to apply. None There is sufficient material to use several several times.

Comment:
Does its job very good. Of course, 5 Eggs for Newegg! None None

Comment:
Works the very first time, every time. What my nationwide accounts don't realize is this is a needed item when changing CPU and/or motherboard and they don't present it. So I carry a tube with me and bill the dispatchers for incidentals. None Any tech worth their lunch will have this onhand.

Comment:
Outstanding thermal paste...actually at present the ideal paste available. none Prior to applying check around on the internet for application strategies certain for your CPU form and CPU cooler. I say this because AS's web site directions did not function effectively for my distinct combo so I tried a number of procedures and identified the sweets spot.

Works great and u get a LOT of paste none

I've had this for about a month now and have replaced everything I could with this and I still have more for anything else I want to use it on. It's as good as it gets for thermal paste.

Comment:
this is the second tube i have bought, and the value is there if you use alot. not reccomended for oe time installations (TOO MUCH GET THE SMALLER TUBE) other than that ncix support is awsome got it quikly as always.

This thermal compound is usefull when you have to remplace the used thermal compound that been used for a while, or simply to use a better quality thermal compound than the stuck thermal compound. 12 gram is more than enough to remplace every place which is used to it (cpu/gpu/chipset/etc.). Very satisfied for this quality and quantity.

Very good product but you have to know how much to apply and how to apply it. There are a lot of different ways people do it. I personally went with the pea sized drop  in the middle because i read that spreading it like butter causes it to make bubbles increasing the heat.My first attempt wasn't a success. I applied way too much and when i booted the computer, the cpu temp rose to 80deg C. I turned it off immediately and cleaned the Cpu and heat sink with rubbing alcohol. After it dried i applied a lot less which worked very well for me. I went from 50deg C idle to 41deg C (my i7 920 not oc'ed) you might not get this much difference on yours because the compound i had on already was old and in need of a change.hope this helps any of you decide which thermal compound to get.I can't say it's the best because it's the first one i buy and use that doesn't come with the product.

Use this Artic Silver 5 with my I930 and Noctua NH-U12P SE2 heatpipe cooler. Either I use too much or too little TIM but the temperature isn’t what I had expected. I’m not overclocking and temperature while idling is 36-41 degree. Not much better from stock heatsink which is around 42-44 degree. Maybe my expectation is too high.

Comment:
Great thermal compound; the price is very low (after a price match) for the quantity of compound you get !

Comment:
Got 4 of them and I don't worry about them running out like others. Use to have AC thermal gel and they run out really quick. I test a lot's of parts that needs thermal gel, and this is the best value I can find so far. I use it not only for testing, but for a lot's of system build by me. They are all doing pretty well.

Comment:
it is easy to use in the container it is packaged in, easy to apply, I have used other brands there is a reason this is the best. for the money buy this. I have used it on computer parts and xbox 360's

Comment:
I have used this in combination with a E8400 and Kingwin XT-1264 to achieve 39C on idle and 45C for full load temperatures.

Comment:
I bought this thermal paste to use with chilltek cooler. I needed that as a good alternative for stock thermal paste. It is very good, its tick. Don't apply to much and don't forget to apply the good strenght to your bolts or it will not stick the good way. I can say I lowered my temps from almost 5 degres with that paste its a very good product. I'll use it soon on my 955 for more tests. The big tube is definately amust for people doing a lot of computers.

Comment:
This paste is the easiest to apply. Simply try a credit card or other card and put a couple of "drop" on the cpu. spread like butter and very effective. If your a OCZ owner, try this one... you'lll probably throw away your OCZ paste.

Comment:
Lowered my CPU temperature by a few degrees. With 12g, I still have a lot to use later. Better value than the 3.5g.

Comment:
While this product worked great, I have never used this before and was not exactly sure how to apply it, basically I used a size of a grain of rice to apply it to my CPU and GPU of Xbox 360. What I did not like is that the amount of force needed to push the thermal paste out of the syringe was outrageously high, before it finally came out I was afraid I was going to crack the whole thing!Regardless it got the job done and will be VERY helpful for me in the future.

Comment:
The thermal paste will probably just provide a couple of degrees less than the other decent quality thermal paste that comes with your coolers. But at least you know what physical properties this paste has. Can be wiped clean enough with a Q-tip.

Comment:
i bought this on boxing day, and i put this on my cpu. i love the 99.9 silver thermal compound can cool my cpu better then other thermal compound. also this is not electricity conductive

Comment:
This stuff does the job. Works better than generic and gets things cooler than stock. Be careful applying, you don't need too much or it'll cause capacitive problems (same as any compound). At the price of this stuff you won't want to waste it.

Comment:
Very good thermal past. Dropped my cpu 5 degree's. Much better than the original paste on the fans. Recommended.

Comment:
This is amazing stuff, a little hard to apply at first because of the more open ended applier, but once you get the hang of it, its very easy. And it only works out to around a dollar a apply vs the 10$ 3.5 ounce tube which is much more an apply. Very good value, highly recommend this.
