> 3 dayPerfect. I liked using the little spreading tool it comes with which removes some of the guesswork around how much paste to put. Enough product for multiple uses.

Greater than one weekUsually its not a huge deal to most, but if you want to best in class when cost and performance are both important, this is my go to brand and has been for decades. I wouldnt recommend the dirt cheap stuff found on here as the cheap stuff can dry up within months and youll need to remove your cooling device (FAN or AIO) multiple times a year to make sure you have proper protection for your computer or graphics card.

> 3 dayGot a high end computer back from Best Buy Geek Squad saying they could not fix under warranty as the motherboard was fried. Computer would come on, overheat and shut down. Didnt think it was the motherboard, took off the heat sink/fan cleaned and reapplied this paste. BIOS msg the CPU Fan failure came on, then computer booted up and has been on overnight with no apparent problem. Turned off and booted back up. My $8 bet on this product paid off better than a paid protection plan. Thanks!

> 3 dayIts Arctic Silver. If youve used it, you know. If you havent, you should. Clean off that garbage these heatsink and AIO manufacturers put on their product, use this stuff and dont worry about your temps. Plenty of YouTube videos showing how to properly apply it.

> 3 dayWhile removing old laptop fan to replace it, I noticed that the old heat sink paste had deteriorated from years of use. Cleaned off the old paste with alcohol and then applied AS5. Amazing that a simple thing like this would stop my laptop fan from constantly racing and overheating.

> 3 dayAbsolutely Fantastic thermal paste, temperature went down about 5 degrees compared to the pre-applied thermal paste that AMD has.
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.)
