Description
- Arctic Silver AS5-3.5G Thermal Compound
- Made With 99.9% Pure Silver
- High-Density Polysynthetic Silver Thermal Compound
- Controlled Triple-Phase Viscosity
- Thermal compound is necessary to create a reliable transfer of heat from your computer’s processor to its heatsink to keep your CPU from overheating. Arctic Silver 5 thermal compound does this with three unique shapes and sizes of pure silver particles to maximize particle-to-particle contact area and thermal transfer. It’s optimized for use between modern high-power CPUs and high-performance heatsinks or water-cooling solutions. This 3.5-gram tube 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.Note: This is an OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) version, which includes the product, but nothing else. They are packaged generically and are best suited for system builders who don’t require documentation or bundled accessories.
Made With 99.9% Pure Silver
Arctic Silver 5 uses three unique shapes and sizes of pure silver particles to maximize particle-to-particle contact area and thermal transfer.
High-DensityArctic Silver 5 contains over 88% thermally conductive filler by weight. In addition to micronized silver, Arctic Silver 5 also contains sub-micron zinc oxide, aluminum oxide and boron nitride particles. These thermally-enhanced ceramic particles improve the compound’s performance and long-term stability.
Controlled Triple-Phase Viscosity*Then 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. Finally the compound thickens slightly over the next 50 to 200 hours of use to its final consistency designed for long-term stability.
Not Electrically ConductiveWhile it is not electrically conductive, the compound is very slightly capacitive and could potentially cause problems if it bridges two close-proximity electrical paths.)
Absolute StabilityArctic Silver 5 will not separate, run, migrate, or bleed.
Performance3 to 12 degrees centigrade lower CPU full load core temperatures than standard thermal compounds .
