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

I always use this paste for my CPUs. I currently have AMD 8250FX processor running very coolly thanks to this product.

Pros: You cant get better quality for application of thermal paste. Its the silver that does it.

I will say this helped to cool down the laptop. it was overheating and now its just warm to a little warm the CPU doesnt get as cool as id like but i think the heatsink is part of the problem now

I use to replace the cooling compound from the laptops and PCs in order to give preventive maintenance, this Artic Silver brand is well known to work very well.

I use only the BEST and this is a product I use daily.

this is a great item to have when your building more than one computer, because the smaller containers dont seem to go very far.

You dont need this size unless you replace a lot of CPUs, a 3g tube will do about 30 surfaces, you need very little. I used up two 3g tubes over a two year period so opted to have a better supply. With a combination of cooper shims and this compound, I can get a 30%-50% reduction in the average operating temperature of a laptop and it never dries out.

Works great to replace or paste or new build. Has better thermal values than ceramic paste.

I go through a lot of this. Arctic silver works well, is very easy to apply, and works a lot better than the cheaper thermal paste out there. Depending on what kind of processor you use it on, the large 12g tube lasts quite awhile. If youre only doing a few computers, itd probably best to get the smaller size, although as far as I can tell, it never goes bad, I have some tubes Ive had for 5+ years, and it seems a little thicker (maybe it was a different formula?) but works great just the same.

The Best!!
