Product Description
Arctic Silver 5 With its unique high-density filling of micronized silver and enhanced thermally conductive ceramic particles is optimized for use between modern high-power CPUs and high performance heatsinks or water-cooling solutions. Arcticlean: ArctiClean is a two-step cleaning process that removes existing thermal grease or pads and prepares the thermal surface for a fresh application of thermal interface material. ArctiClean 1 Thermal Material Remover quickly emulsifies and dissolves the existing thermal grease or pad from the CPU and/or heatsink so that it can easily be removed with a clean cloth or paper towel. A few drops of ArctiClean 2 Thermal Surface Purifier and some gentle wiping then removes the remaining residue and inhibits flash corrosion on copper or aluminum. Do not be fooled by others trying to sell fake/generic versions of this product. Only buy 100% Authentic Arcticlean and Arctic Silver 5 by Arctic Silver!

After upgrading my Mac Mini to an Intel T7600 and applying Arctic Silver 5, my processor’s average temperature dropped from 170 degrees F to 140. Make sure to use only enough to lay a light film over the CPU. One tube seems to have enough paste to cover dozens of CPUs. ArctiClean easily removed the old paste and smells nice!

I had recently purchased a E8400 from amazon. I had been using no thermal paste at all which was dangerous because I reached degrees of 90C while playing a game and 60C idle.
I hastily purchased a thermal paste, which was this one. All I can say is WOW.
My idle temperature went from 60C to 39C.
While playing the same game it went from 90C to 51C.
MAJOR improvement. I would defiantly buy this again for future processors.

Most people in the market have already heard of Arctic Silver; it’s fair to say that Arctic Silver is to thermal paste what Kleenex is to facial tissues. In any case, this reputation is well-deserved, as the performance of this thermal paste is still top-notch.
I just built a budget gaming computer for $400 total based on a (now overclocked) Athlon II X3 425 and Radeon 4850 1 GB. I did not purchase an aftermarket cooler immediately, as I got the boxed version of the CPU. However, after overclocking to 3 GHz, I realized that replacement thermal paste and aftermarket cooling would be necessary. In keeping with the budget philosophy of my build, I chose to go with the Cooler Master Hyper TX3. Although the TX3 does come with its own tube of thermal paste, I figured I might as well get the AS5 kit, since I’d need to clean the CPU anyway.
In any case, the cooler and thermal paste did the trick. My CPU is now running at 3.36 GHz on stock voltages, up from 2.7 GHz. Temperatures are substantially cooler than the stock heatsink at stock clocks. Performance is up anywhere from 10-18% depending on benchmarks, and the total cost of the additional cooling is less than 10% of the build. I’d say that’s a decent return on investment.

GPU and CPU core temps are down about 10C compared to whatever gray goop the last tech to repair my notebook put on. I did not perceive that the underside of the heatpipe shared by the CPU/GPU and one other chip (Northbridge?) was particularly polished, so I did not take the thin film approach; instead I put a thin line across each die, pressed the heatpipe down and twisted it back and forth a bit before screwing it tight. It’s possible that the product could have done even better for me, but this was good enough.

Excellent Product and wonderful service from the seller!!! Recommended if you want to over clock your PC, or if you want to replace the thermal paste on your PS3 or Xbox 360.
