Arctic Silver Ceramique Premium High Density Thermal Compound

Comment:
I just got this like 20 minutes ago and it is a kickin product. It cools my cpu of course and I am getting decent OCs with a stock AMD64 cooler

Comment:
4-6c lower in comparison to the stuff that was already on the cpu when I got it.When I took off the heat sink to apply this compound, I was greeted with brunt black crusty stuff which was the compound stuff that came with the cpu 2.5 years ago. I think i'll be reapplying this paste yearly :(

Got this for use with my P4 1.6 (oc'd to 1.8) and a stock HS and fan. Dropped the idle temp by 5 degrees right away and even under load I don't get over 43 C. Of course this may be partially due to my blowing all the dust out of the heat sink while I had it out....

Comment:
Good solution to the stock thermal pad on heatsinks. Works very well and is easy to apply (and remove if ness). Great thermal paste.

Comment:
Usable for all heatsink interface purposes, great performance, easy to apply, and easy to clean. It is also non-conductive which is great so you don't have to worry about shorting anything.

This compound, with a Thermaltake gets an idle temperature of about 38 Degrees with my athlon xp 2500+ . I highly recommend this. It does it's job quite well.

athlon xp à 2.65 ghz avec 2 volt de vcore et je tiens sous la barre des 50 degré en aircooling

I use it. It's good. I have a max load of 50Cs but I have lowered RPM fans using resistors and fan-control options on my mobo.I'm not sure how it performs against AS-5, but I'm sure it's just as good. You won't be dissapointed with this buy.

Comment:
i got this a few years ago and when i applied it, it didnt do much for the idle temp but it dropped my load temp by about 2-3c. ASC5 is only a little bit more and i heard it cools 2-3c better then this so this isnt recommended.

Comment:
Ceramique is fairly good thermal compound. I found its performance to be the same as AS2 and alumina (each of them were within 1 degree celcius of each other). It's consistancy is very thick but you can spread it without too much difficulty. Also it comes off of your skin easier than AS2 and is completely non conductive.Since you need to use very little you can get many applications out of a single tube. I am sure I have gotten at least 10 out of mine already and I think there is a fair bit left.

Comment:
This stuff is really dense making it hard to apply. I thought it would lower my temps more than it did so I'm picking up some as5 silver to replace this stuff. For stock settings this stuff works great but for oc'ing its ok.

Comment:
i dont know how much of a difference it made since i applied it as soon as i bought my CPU but my temp is 36idle with this paired with an aeroflow.

Comment:
got this a while ago, dont know how it compares against asc5 but it works good for me.

Comment:
This compound, with a Vantec Aeroflow gets an idle temperature of 32 Degrees with my 2500+ (O/C'd to 3200+).For this combination to be effective I suggest a case that has decent cooling capabilities, like Antec or Lian Li, etc. generic cases won't give you the best results.

Comment:
Awsome stuff compared to the junk that the HSF companies give out.

Comment:
I find it hard to believe that this stuff is keeping my idle temps the same.. or one degree higher than my case temperature, but it is. Im useing a Thermalright ALX-800 with a 2700 RPM fan, so the heatsink may be playing a part in this:) Load temp is 41C, no Overclock... Great stuff

O.K. it's 9:47pm Friday evening June 06/2003.My computer has been on since noon. ATI Radeon 7500aiw playing the TV in the background. Surfing the web and other various tasks all day aswell. Right now the temp in my house is about 28c, my case temp is 32.8c, and my CPU temp is 49c. Computer is rock solid, and according to AMD data the die temp on a Barton 2500xp max's out at 85c, so 49 is well with in specs.
