Arctic Silver 5 AS5-3.5G Thermal Paste

Used for years now never has failed me yet.

I dont know what the hype is with this paste to be honest with you. I truly believe that the good reviews come from replacing your heat-sink and adding the arctic silver to your cpu. More like the heat-sink is what actually makes the difference in temperature and i will tell you why. I have two built PC and for built one i replaced the stock heat-sink and replaced it with coolermaster evo 212 and help my temperature by 10c lower and adding arctic silver paste with it. Since i had more paste left, i said what the heck let me add it to my other built PC but i didnt remove the intel stock heat-sink, and i got the same results, not a change at all in temperature. So in conclusion its a good combination with a good heat-sink, so this alone wont make a drastic change in temperature at all.

Great Stuff, a little goes a long way. To use the cliche, less is more is not an understatement. Be prepared to use less than you think, you will be thanked by the great performance of the AS5. Too much will have an opposite effect causing an insulating situation. Its really hard to use too little.

I have an i5-2500k. My cooling system is pretty weak because I want it to be quiet. Before applying this paste, the idle temperature was about 45C. When I applied the paste I did not bother to clean the old paste. Even so, now my idle temperature is only 35-37.

Works Great,

Arctic Silver 5 has been around for a long time and has proven heat transfer properties. There is enough in the tube for more than several CPUs. It has the consistency of creamy peanut butter.

I used this with my new skylake CPU. So far it has worked as it should and I havent had any issues with it. Great quality and value. It is exactly what I was looking for. I am very happy with it.

Nice product.

Wonderful product. My Dell Latitude E7440 is much much happier now that I applied arctic silver to its processer

Great, high quality thermal paste. More than enough to last you ~5 applications.
