Nabob Deals Arctic Silver 5 Thermal Cooling Compound Paste 3.5g Heatsink Paste High-Density Polysynthetic Silver with Bonus Tool (Arctic Silver with Bonus Tool)

For the past two years, I used this thermal paste with my Noctua fan under heavy gaming loads and have never experienced any thermal throttling or high temperatures. Much of this can be attributed to the fan, but the paste is what makes the transfer efficient so it gets full marks for that.

Received the product quickly, especially during the lockdowns worldwide. Product was was in great shape when arrived as well. No issues with it.

Easy to use and spread. Keeps my Ryzen cool.

Opened my PS4 for the first time ever, lots of guides are absolutely horrible at guiding you through the process I have found. After taking it apart completely (cleaning it) and putting it back together, I noticed a huge difference in the home screen alone. Launching a game was a different story; it was way louder than it had ever been. I failed to reapply thermal paste, bought this, applied it, put it back together along with some new thermal pads. Its never been quieter. These are the thermal pads I used, theyre already precut, they do slightly hang over the RAM chips, but I dont think thats a bad thing - they arent too big, but theyre immensely bigger than the originals: SIXQJZML 30Pcs 15x15x1mm Soft Silicone Thermal Conductive Pads Heatsink IC Chipset Northbridge for CPU GPU Heatsink . Im shocked honestly! Very happy with my purchase, I would definitely recommend to anyone at all with a loud PS4. Going to really put it to the test today by streaming some Titanfall 2 multiplayer. If you want a good guide, look for How To Refurbish PS4 Model CUH-1215A (the channel is called Console Fix) on YouTube, that guys video saved me a lot of trouble. The only bad thing I could say about the video was that the camera quality is in 480p (but he does have 2 camera angles), which wont really affect the process, just be sure to pay attention and youll be fine. 10/10 - Small grey pads are original, big blue ones are new, had pictures of old thermal paste but cant find them, needless to say it was mostly dry and cracked - * BE CARFUL - taking the top and bottom shell off, I some how or another ended up with 2 plastic tabs which I can only assume snapped off of one of the plastic shells when prying it open. Everything still went together fine, it just wont hurt to have all plastic clamps still on your console.*

Thermal paste works well. Applied it to the APU of my PS4 thats just over 5 years old, now I dont hear the howling of the fan and I can actually play a game for longer than 3 minutes before my system shuts down. Been playing MGS 5 (late to the game, obviously) for hours on end and the PS4 stays cool, thanks to the thermal paste.

worked fine!

Didnt fix my issue but not the products fault

I have used AS5 for years and have been pleased. My goal is to squeeze every bit of performance I can out of my chips and cooling becomes an issue. Using AS5 has always allowed me to push the limits without having thermal problems be the thing holding me back.

That good good

It’s AS5. Great thermal compound.
