Arctic Silver 5 AS5-3.5G Thermal Paste

This is the first time I have used this product. I reflowed the nvidia chip on my HP dv6000 which has been sitting under my bed for the past 3.5 years due to the common no video/overheating issue. I decided to try fixing it myself, since its almost worthless to try to sell with it not working. I used the arctic silver along with a copper shim to keep the heat down to put the laptop back together after repairing the motherboard, and it all seems to be working just fine now. I repaired it about 4 months ago, and I use it everyday. I remember the laptop getting very hot back when I used to use it years ago. (it died 18 months after I bought it). Now it barely gets hot. Im pretty sure that is due to the copper shim and this paste being of excellent quality. I also bought a cheap laptop cooler with cool blue lights to help with keeping it cool.

this is the only TIM I use, great stuff

Good stuff! Arrived quickly!

This is my go-to for thermal paste. The stock stuff that may come bundled with a CPU or CPU cooler may be fine, but I always get a fresh tube of this silver goop whenever swapping out CPU or cooler. Its easily cleaned up with some cotton balls, q-tips, and rubbing alcohol.

I used this on an old launch PS3 probably two years back to try and help with an overheating problem. It definitely helped and the machine ran much smoother than before I reapplied the thermal paste, the stuff Sony used was pretty bad. The PS3 still gave up a few months later but I this did help extend the life of the machine a bit.

Good service & products

Easy to use

Build is done. I cleaned off the cheaper grade stock paste from the stock cooler. Arctic Silver has long been reputable to keep components are far lower temperatures. Im seeing on average 25C on standing OS temperature and 34C at max load operating temp. My laptop used to get much hotter and I eventually got a 5 fan cooling pad and heat extractor. It was still running hotter. If I can find some family who can replace the paste in a laptop I will do that later.

As advertised. fast shipment
