Arctic Silver 5 AS5-3.5G Thermal Paste

Hot diggity dog. Best stuff ever

A good brand.

Delivered as promised. Apparently works well: computer is running great.

Works okay. Didnt see any dramatic difference between this and my old and hardened thermal paste. Only difference is that my computer no longer overheats playing Sims 3.

Great for cpu, keeps it cooler.

I used this to replace the thermal paste on a 6870 that I had bought.

As described, easy to use.

It is easy to apply following the directions on the Arctic Silver website. The directions take you through the proper way to pre-apply the compound for maximum effectiveness. Basically first you tint the CPU and heat sink to fill in the microscopic holes. Then for my CPU (core i7) I had to apply the compound in a straight line on the CPU. Also there are helpful tips on how to get the old thermal compound off your CPU. After applying there is a break in period of around 200 hours.

i had bought a 212 evo, and after upgrading my mobo i thought Id upgrade my paste. the paste that came with the cooler performed better than this s***.

Make sure you youtube how to use this stuff. This has been my standard for years.
