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

good value

This is the best thermal compound available in the marketplace today. I like the larger size as well for multiple CPU re-seating.

Saved my laptop. Sorted out my fan issues and plenty more should I need to use it anywhere else in the future.

If youre even looking at this then you know what it does. AS has a very high standard of quality and even the lowest grade crap they dump in the trash cans at their factory is leaps and bounds above what cpu and graphic card manufacturers seem to put on their products. This particular type is EXCELLENT for thermal distribution. For a proper example, and as an experiment, I put an i7-3770k on a Z77 Sabertooth with the thinnest amount of this compound as I possible could. The layer was as thin as paper...lets put it that way. The computer did not run cool (water cooled CPU and graphics card, btw) but it did run most games and applications just fine with the occasional overheat/blue screen/reboot. After using ArctiClean to remove the layer I put on I reapplied a more realistic layer of this compound and the CPU temperature dropped an additional 20 degrees Celsius.

Arctic Silver 5 has been on the market for many a year, there may be newer products available but few actually perform as this one does. If properly applied this product provides excellent results.

Very happy with purchase, will purchase from again, Thank you

Applied this on my H80i and my temps actually went up about 5ºC. I know Im still on the break-in period, if temps get cooler Ill change my review. If not, Ill try re-applying.

I like the larger quantity as you get more for the value. It’s easy to spread, works much better than other compounds and it gives me peace of mind knowing that my expensive components will be protected.

It works excellent. Thanks !!!

This is high quality thermal compound ...definitely worth the price!
