Arctic Silver 5 AS5-3.5G Thermal Paste

Good

nice and pastey.

Not much to say, other than this is the best thermal paste that money can buy. Its a bit more expensive, but totally worth it, especially if you plan to buy a really nice CPU cooler.

Perfect

I have not used this particular tube of paste i just bought yet. However, during the red ring of death xbox 360 heyday when many people got rich repairing the built in defect in those game consoles, I repaired many of those boxes myself using this paste and I have no complaints about it. And I replaced the paste in my personal pc using this same item. I didnt run any comparison tests, but this item does what its supposed to do and would use it again.

heads up this thing is tiny. its about the length of your average usb stick. I honestly cant tell what makes a cooling gel good or bad. It got me through about 10 uses.

Came two days early and everything was great

Works wonderfully. I replaced the stock thermal compound on my Dell Inspiron n5110 laptop and it is running about 6 degrees Celsius lower than normal. It used to reach up to 85 degrees Celsius at full load(The i3s rated TJ max), but now it only reaches 76 max. I know that is not 6 degrees, but I also changed some other things, like raising the laptop a bit for better airflow.

Replaced the thermal paste on my PS4 APU due to red light(over heating) - has not over heated since using this paste

While it was smaller than I thought it is very well lubricated paste and performs an extremely great job at keeping the cpu cool. Im not sure however long I should keep it on before replacing it, if I ever do, but its very high quality. Definitely worth the few extra large bucks than a $2 paste.
