Arctic Silver 5 High Density Polysynthetic Silver Thermal Compound -12g (AS5-12G-R)

good value

Good for cpu and gpu

Its perfect

all thermal compounds are pretty much the same, a litte bit better than mayonaise and not nearly as gross after a few days.

I never build a Desktop without it. Arctic Silver is one of the best heatsink compounds out there. When youve tryd the rest come back to the best. This is the stuff for you PC builds.

Works great

This is simply a must for system builders who are devoted to the best results! I might also add that Ive been building high-performance PCs for many years and have found that this really does produce the best heat transfer temps for CPUs, APUs & GPUs... Best way to apply is a small amount on either heatsink or processor (whichever is smallest), then in a circular fashion, using a very clean finger, spread compound evenly over entire surface, taking care to NOT use too much, just enough to spread under pressure so entire contact surface is covered... I know a lot of guys think it best to put a dot and trust the pressure of heatsink will spread it. While this is true some of the time, it is NOT always true and you want to be sure, especially if you are building your own rig... obviously, clean up finger well afterward before consuming your favorite pizza (or whatever...)

Not enough product

Only thermal grease I will use.

Cant go wrong with Artic 5. It keeps my i5 3570k cool even under load. Never gets above 65 with Cooler Master 212.
