Chemical is accurate to manufactrure's claim (works as advertised). none USA is letting other countries copy our patents. I wrote to Dept of Defense about that Stealth jetfighter, and am entangle dinto many conversations with gov. officials about CAD/CAM software theft.

Cons:Tiny servings! :(

Pros:Shiny Silver!!!
Comment:
I put this between my Intel i7 2600k and H70.drop  in temp around 5-10c. Not huge, but better! (Since the H70 already had a good thermal paste on it.)

Arctic Silver 5 Thermal Compound
Cons:NONE.

Pros:CHEAP.WORKS.
Comment:
I got this paste because the pre-applied compound on my H50 was horrible. JEE does this do the job, and it's easy to use. Ever though it's only 3.5 grams, I could probably use this for 5 or more computers. WOOT

My very old Macbook kept overheating and after applying some of the compound onto the heatsink, the overheating issue went away. It was easy to apply, had no issues with it.

Cons:None

Pros:Easy to use, works well, keeps things cool
Comment:
Got this after reading the many reviews and I am not disappointed. I'm new to building cpus and I reached the desired results the first time I tried installing my heatsink. Perhaps it's easy, but AS5 was never an issue.

Arctic Silver 5 Thermal Compound
Cons:Get's a little stiff to work with

Pros:Easy to use containerStays where you put itExtreamly good heat conductor
Comment:
Just what the Doc. ordered. I like this for just about everything that has a heat sink. Had my computer for 3 years and figured I should replace the thermal compound on the CPU, GPU, and chip sets. WOW didn't know that thermal compound alone could lower temps so much, it wasn't overheating before but it's like I had new better heat-sinks.

Arctic Silver 5 Thermal Compound
Cons:Zip, zero, nada.

Pros:Easy to apply, does the job!
Comment:
*Note - the "duration of ownership" I listed at 1 day because I just bought my new tube of this stuff, whereas I've used this paste in various computers for a few years now.There's not a great deal to say about this product, other than what I listed in the "Strengths" section, i.e. since this thermal paste isn't runny(like some), it's very easy to apply in a "pea" sized blob, a line, or even to spread it thin with a tool of some sort, and THE biggest strength, is that it just plain does the job it's intended for!If you need some thermal paste to help cool some computer parts, you simply can't go wrong with this product!

Arctic Silver 5 Thermal Compound
Cons:LITERALLY 3 CM LONG

Pros:Cools system really really well10 bucks for 5 degrees offEasy to use
Comment:
From most reviews, this product received positive results. I had heard of the item looking nothing like how the picture appears (size) but I still was shocked. It is 3 cm long and probably only 2 cm is used to fill in the compound. However, I'm not complaining. This stuff works great! Don't build a PC without it!

Arctic Silver 5 Thermal Compound
Cons:Average performance

Pros:Cheap when PM'd
Comment:
I'm not sure why but the thermal paste that came with Corsair A70 give 3-4 degree lower than AS5. I tried all kinds of application method but the result's still the same. Even if factor in AS5's curing period that would reduce the temp further, it will only match A70 TIM at best. Some people said AS5 requires mirror finish on both heatsink and CPU. It might be the case since A70 is a DHT and it isn't "mirror finish". Anyway, I won't be getting AS5 next time. I'll try MX-3..

One of the best thermal grease around, Arctic Silver is good stuff and worth the extra few bucks. One tube of this should be good for several installations

Arctic Silver 5 Thermal Compound
Cons:-Don't swallow ... learned my lesson o.O

Pros:-Easy to apply-Always drops my temps over stock compound
Comment:
Not much you can say about heatsink compound but I've used various arctic silver compounds through the years and have never been dissapointed. It always cools better then stock and no matter how I've applied it I have no had a problem. I would always recommend finding out the best way to apply to your heatsink as some newer copper pipe systems spread differently once attached.

I got this for $5.41 with pricematch, its a good deal if you can get it at that price. Can use for more than just the CPU, so you can save some of it. Overall very good product.

Pros:Awesome price!
Comment:
Bought this for $4 with a pricematch. Does the job well, works if you need extra thermal paste. Not noticing a difference between the cheap stuff that came with the OCZ vendetta 2 but then again, i need to let it cure more probably.

Cons:none

Pros:Well reviewed/liked compound
Comment:
Not a lot to say about this other than I did not know that it requires 200 hours of cure time before showing the best results. Not it's fault though, just mine for not researching that better. Keeps my cpu nice and cool with the hyper 212.
