Not Electrically Conductive: Arctic Silver 5 was formulated to conduct heat, not electricity.
(While much safer than electrically conductive silver and copper greases, Arctic Silver 5 should be kept away from electrical traces, pins, and leads. While it is not electrically conductive, the compound is very slightly capacitive and could potentially cause problems if it bridges two close-proximity electrical paths.)
Absolute Stability: Arctic Silver 5 will not separate, run, migrate, or bleed.
Performance: 3 to 12 degrees centigrade lower CPU full load core temperatures than standard thermal compounds or thermal pads when measured with a calibrated thermal diode imbedded in the CPU core.
Coverage Area: The 12 gram tube contains enough compound to cover 50+ small CPU cores.
Important Reminder: Due to the unique shape and sizes of the particles in Arctic Silver 5's conductive matrix, it will take a up to 200 hours and several thermal cycles to achieve maximum particle to particle thermal conduction and for the heatsink to CPU interface to reach maximum conductivity. (This period will be longer in a system without a fan on the heatsink or with a low speed fan on the heatsink.) On systems measuring actual internal core temperatures via the CPU's internal diode, the measured temperature will often drop 2C to 5C over this "break-in" period. This break-in will occur during the normal use of the computer as long as the computer is turned off from time to time and the interface is allowed to cool to room temperature. Once the break-in is complete, the computer can be left on if desired. | | | Features: | |

Best Thermal PasteJan 09, 2010
I like this thermal paste compared to any other, because the processor runs cooler, and the paste is not runny like other brands.

Used for xbox360Oct 26, 2008
We used this stuff on our xbox360 to fix the 3 lights of death. Worked very well!

This is the bestMar 19, 2008
I just put a new motherboard and cpu in my case. Reviews of thermal compounds suggested Artic Silver 5. I bought it here. I live in Maine and got it in 2 days! The web site, [...]articsilver[...]has very clear instructions on how to use it. I emailed support with a question and got an answer the same day. The cpu and heatsink are in and functioning at 37ºC.
Should you need help after hours the answering machine has a number for emergency support.

This is all I useDec 07, 2007
I have tried a couple of different brands and Arctic seems to me to be the best. Received item way faster then expected. Thanks Amazon.
