| | |  | Thermal Compound | Home » » Arctic Silver 5 Large Size 12 gram tube | | | | | | | Description: | | Contains 99.9% pure silver: Arctic Silver 5 usesthree unique shapes and sizes of pure silver particles to maximize particle-to-particle contact area and thermal transfer.
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: | |

This is all I useDec 07, 2007
By Heike Hays
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.

Great StuffFeb 10, 2011
By George
Artic silver is the ONLY heat sink grease I use for processors and I've been repairing computers since 1980... Nuff said.

Must have Thermal PasteOct 06, 2011
By S. Oliver
"Even the gods to are fond of a joke"
This is a must have for any computer tech.I use this in at my work. It is thicker than the regular thermal paste and it does cool down the computer 5-15C. The problems with alot of Laptops are the heat problems.

Good thermal compoundAug 18, 2011
By Stephen
I do not have fancy heat testing equipment, however every laptop I have applied this too seems to drop in heat by several degrees according to the hardware sensors. Easy to apply and clean up (With rubbing alcohol). Do not use too much, A little dab will do ya. 12 oz will last you a very long time. I am a computer repairman and I have done probably 10 laptops, 5-6 Desktops, and 9 360s and have some left.

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