Oh, hi Mark
> 24 hourOpened 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.*

> 24 hourFar better thermal conductivity than pre applied compund. spend the extra money to use this. seeing better temps already. hopefully this will help with the thermal throttling issue i was having when doing CPU heavy work.

> 24 hourReally easy to use this paste and it does a really good job maintaining the CPU cool!

> 24 hourArctic silver 5 USED to be one of the best . Now it is just ok and performs a couple degrees above most top of the line pastes. I bought this one because it was available for quick delivery but 8f I could wait I would go for zallman.

> 24 hourI have been building PCs for awhile, and used whatever I could get my hands on. I recently did a new heat sink on my main system here in my studio, and used this paste. The difference between this and the other I have used is unbelievable. I have far better heat transfer, better conduction for heat reduction. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

Performance
3 to 12 degrees centigrade lower CPU full load core temperatures than standard thermal compounds or thermal pads when measured with a calibrated thermal diode imbedded in the CPU core.
Coverage Area: A 3.5 gram syringe contains enough compound to cover at least 15 to 25 small CPU cores, or 6 to 10 large CPU cores, or 2 to 5 heat plates. At a layer 0.003" thick, the 3.5 gram syringe will cover approximately 16 square inches
Arctic Silver Thermal Cooling Compound Paste 3.5g High-Density Polysynthetic Silver
Arctic Silver 5 does not contain any silicone. The suspension fluid is a proprietary mixture of advanced polysynthetic oils that work together to provide three distinctive functional phases. As it comes from the syringe, Arctic Silver 5"s consistency is engineered for easy application. During the CPU"s initial use, the compound thins out to enhance the filling of the microscopic valleys and ensure the best physical contact between the heatsink and the CPU core. Then the compound thickens slightly over the next 50 to 200 hours of use to its final consistency designed for long-term stability. (This should not be confused with conventional phase change pads that are pre-attached to many heatsinks. Those pads melt each time they get hot then re-solidify when they cool.
The viscosity changes that Arctic Silver 5 goes through are much more subtle and ultimately much more effective.)
