  • Great value
The thermal paste does what it advertises and works great for my gaming pc. It is great value and you get a lot of uses. For everybody that owns a pc, make sure you check your CPU temp before deciding to reapply. Reapply does come with risk so make sure it is warranted.

  • perfect for gaming
now i always give a 0 on stars for install do not install this unless you a pc tec if you dont heed my warning you will fry the system board with your electoral discharge in your body your body gives off static and will fry the motherboard and cpu always take your parts to a pc pro to have it safely installed this is for ram cpu and mother board and power you may install your hardrives but thats all this paste is very powerful and keeps cpus cool that is low heat to medium heat output this is enough to have a powerful gaming rig yes i copy past my info so yea my reviews bout same nothing needed to be changed ... show more

  • Cooler operating temps and fan doesn't hit warp speed anymore - Quality and reliable compound
The previous reviews and five star rating from over 3,000+ people speak for itself. My 2009 Macbook Pro was no longer displaying anything on the screen, and the logic board was the culprit. Over many heating and cooling cycles, the soldering joints holding things together develop fractures. This resulted in my fans kicking on hard almost constantly for about a year prior to failure. If your logic board has failed, go to your favorite search engine and look up "baking logic board" and you'll get a ton of information on how to go about trying a last ditch effort to resurrect your computer/laptop. 1. Remove your heat sink/cooler and clean thoroughly with isopropyl alcohol (I used 70% alcohol and it seems to work just fine). You'll also want to thoroughly clean your CPU and the immediate surrounding area of old thermal compound. Old compound can crack and become hard, so try not to spread it too far from where it was previously. When the alcohol hits the old compound, it'll thin out and become a huge mess, so try and contain it! Once you think you have everything clean, clean it again, and possibly another time. You want to make sure you have a 100% oil free and clean surface on both the CPU and heatsink. When you think it's clean enough, give it a wipe with a clean microfiber or coffee filter. 2. Apply thermal paste is one of the most subjective things about it. How much, what shape, whether or not to spread it across the CPU, etc. The size of the CPU on a Macbook Pro is relatively small and I put a the equivalent of a swollen grain of rice dead center of the CPU. If you've ever played with silica gel balls, it was about that size. I didn't spread it with a credit card or do anything other than apply in the center. When you spread it out over the top of the CPU you run the risk of getting air bubbles, gaps in coverage, and spillover. Many videos will suggest different things, but I thing a circular dot in the middle provides your best coverage. It's difficult to get it right, and I had to do it twice the first time, but haven't had any issues since. 3. Install the heatsink evenly and in one movement, DO NOT lift it once it touches the compound as that'll result in bubbles/gaps. Once in place begin tightening everything down evenly and put the rest of your computer back together. 4. Once everything is together, run your computer through multiple heating and cooling cycles to "age" the compound and have it seat properly. This will ensure you get an even bond between the heatsink and CPU for maximum thermal transfer from the CPU to the heatsink. It took me two tries to get the correct amount right, but since then I've been running with these paste on for almost eight months and have seen no issues. The fans rarely kick on hard, and if they do it is under a lot of load. I wish I picked this up as soon as I noticed my fans constantly running as it could have saved my logic board from failure. ... show more

  • Good Standard
Arctic Silver 5 is a medium priced thermal compound that works fairly well & is easy to apply. It used to be king-of-the-hill, but there are a couple of other brands that provide better thermal conduction. The best is using solder, but that is a difficult & permanent solution. The next best is thermal adhesive (which is easier to apply, but also permanent) or liquid metal type (which can be difficult to spread, can be corrosive to some metals, can be difficult to remove, and are usually electrically conductive), then there are products like GC-2 which are easier to spread and are not permanent or electrically conductive/corrosive but are still fairly expensive. Then there is Arctic Silver 5, which is still fairly good at heat transfer, very easy to spread, non permanent and non-electrically conductive at a fair price. If you don't need the extra 5 degrees C cooling capability of the expensive high-end thermal compounds, then AS5 might be a good choice for you. If you are new to using thermal compound, I recommend applying a small drop about the size of a large grain of rice (you will need less than you think) in the center of the processor's heat spreader, place the heat sink squarely on top of the heat spreader and clamp down. I like to give the heat sink a slight twist back & forth once or twice to help spread the compound a bit thinner. You want the compound to be as thin as possible while still covering the entire contact area between the processor & heat sink. By using a small drop of compound at the center of the processor & allowing it to spread when pressed against the heat sinc, this will essentially prevent any air bubbles from forming between the 2. ... show more

  • Still the most reliable thermal compound
I'm pretty sure I've had the same tube for of arctic silver V for10 years since I rarely need to change out compound on my desktop and laptops. I've also done quite a few repastings for client's machines as well (macbooks, dvr systems etc.) in that timespan and finally ran out a few weeks ago. It still had the same consistency as when I got it but the cryorig paste in comparison turned to rubber in less than 5 years. I pretty much have no reason to consider anything else with that longevity and consistent cooling gain. ... show more

  • It works fine for any AMD processor I needed it for.
I researched years ago and I used this on all of my AMD processors... easy on (with a credit card or the like) and easy off.

  • Still Solid!
I've been using Artic Silver in all my computers since 2006, and it still works great. I bought this tube to replace the thermal paste on a computer that's been in use since 2011 - I cleaned the old paste off with Artics' cleaning stuff, applied a pea size drop of this, spread it a bit, then applied the heatsink. The temps are now 20 degrees cooler without changing anything else, so I'm impressed. ... show more
