Arctic Silver 5 AS5-3.5G Thermal Paste

So I was having thermal problems with my system. Turns out the stock compound supplied by Intel on the heat sink is not very good, (theres a shock!) and I was getting thermal alerts and while investigating even managed to get a BIOS triggered thermal shutdown. Anyway removed the heat sink, cleaned off the Intel stuff and applied the Arctic Silver and the machine started back up. The machine had been running before I made the switch, and when I restarted the temperature actually started dropping. (It had been about 60F when I turned it off). Within a few minutes the temperature was round 45F. Whereas before I had hit the scary range of 90F (usually round 70F under low load) maximum now under load is 60F. I would guess Im now running 10 to 20 degrees cooler if not more at all times.

arctic silver is my go to for thermal paste. I have used it for years. This little tube will last through several computer builds.

Been my thermal paste (and millions of others) choice for over a decade. Worth the price to use this instead of any other stock thermal paste.

As advertised. fast shipment

Ive used it several times and It does what it is meant to do, nice amount for a nice price.

Works great. Used this to help restore a laptop I had laying around in my garage storage.

Great for cpu, keeps it cooler.

You know why this is good.

This is very good paste. Anybody worth their salt will tell you to remove your pastes and replace after one year of use to ensure good heat transfer, and this paste still seems to chug along pretty well if you have to forget for a month or 6 like I have done in the past. I highly recommend this paste.

as expected
