Product DescriptionArctic Silver 5 premium thermal compound, with 99.9% pure micronized silver, is specifically designed to maximize the thermal conductivity between today's high-powered processors and high-performance cooling assemblies. Arctic Silver 5 uses three unique shapes and sizes of near-pure silver particles to maximize particle-to-particle contact area and thermal transfer. It can reduce CPU core temperatures by up to 50°F over standard silicone thermal pastes. Controlled triple phase viscosity allows Arctic Silver 5 to fill, over time, microscopic valleys and gaps in CPU and heatsink surfaces. One 3.5g tube can cover up to 25 CPU cores.

Hi all,
Just bought this thinking that the Zalman CNPS9700 LED fan would need a good thermal paste. Much to my surprise the Zalman fan came with a high quality paste (ZM-STG1). In fact, I'm giving this paste only 4 stars because it's not as easy to apply as the Zalman paste, which comes in a bottle with a brush and used like white-out. Be sure to apply a think coating on both the CPU and intended heat-sink of whichever paste you use. SA5 paste requires a 200+ hour curing period with ... Read More

the Arctic silver compound did a great job on the 2 Pc i've got (Pentium 4 and Q6600) -5° on Q6600 and -10C° on P4 compared to stock compound by intel
Rating: - great product
there is just enough grease for one cpu (dont let the picture fool you it is really tiny) combine this with a new (better) cpu cooler and you are set... you will notice a cooler running cpu right away.
Rating: - 7 degrees off!!!!
p4 over here, always at 40 and 41 c, now 32-35 c, and on load only 39 c, never breaks to 40, you must buy!!!!.
Rating: - Great
I was a little skeptical that it could drop my cpu temps... Not anymore it did as adertised.
