Arctic Silver 5 Thermal Compound
Cons:none
Pros:Effective, much better then the average stock intel stuff. Not too expensive. Comment:
I noticed a 4 degree temperature drop after burning in the chip. Good product. Have bought a few of these considering I build many computers for clients and never go cheap on the cooling side of things. |

Arctic Silver 5 Thermal Compound
Cons:none
Pros:cheap, does its job, very nice! Comment:
can be price matched lower. overall decent cooler and works fine. make sure when you apply the compound you do not try to spread it or else when you will create air bubbles which could heat up and damage your cpu.usually the dot / line method for applying the compound is best. |

Arctic Silver 5 Thermal Compound
Cons:none
Pros:works great Comment:
This is the best thermal paste from reading all the reviews. I have been using this silver compound for all the systems I make. It is well worth the small amount of money to add to the overall system. Well worth it. |

Arctic Silver 5 Thermal Compound
Cons:-doesn't spread too well. I'd take the MX-2 over this. Or MX-3 for that matter.
Pros:-Fairly effective.-Cheap.. got it for $5..sale. Comment:
Great thermal grease, does a decent job and is well worth the $5 I paid :)Will definitely recommend, however, I'll buy the MX-2 next time. |

Arctic Silver 5 Thermal Compound
Cons:- None.
Pros:- Appropriate viscosity for easy application.- Good price. Comment:
Not a lot to say about this. It performs just as it should. I applied it to an Intel Core i7 930 using the "line" method, along with a Cooler Master Hyper 212 Plus cooler. In the end I got temperatures that were a close match to what I had read in reviews of the CPU cooler, so it seems that this thermal paste does its job. |

Arctic Silver 5 Thermal Compound
Cons:can cause damage if not applied properly
Pros:great quality and great cooling Comment:
Have used artic silver 5 for years, really not much to say when it's the best. It gets some bad reviews because it IS a conductive material, but so long as you follow the directions properly and don't put on too much you wont' find a much better one out there especially in the same price range. |

Arctic Silver 5 Thermal Compound
Cons:Price
Pros:Easy to UseWorks WellTube last a long time Comment:
What can i say. Tube will last you for a while unless you have your own assembly line for computers. Good thick paste that distributes evenly onto processor. Make sure to price match this or it can be quite pricey. |
I remember when this stuff was king, yea I'm and old. Still a decent compound and at the price difference to other stuff I'll probably continue to use and recommend this. If mx-2 goes down in price though...
