Arctic Silver 5 AS5-3.5G Thermal Paste

Works as advertized.

Was delivered on time and as advertised

My 8 years old i7 920 cpu was working at 100 degree Celsius, after applying the paste it is now working at 60 degrees constant.

My 6 yr old Acer Aspire 77xx had started shutting off intermittently due to high temps. As expected, the problem got progressively worse. This laptop still seems to have a lot of life in it so I ordered this product based upon INET reviews. Fortunately my laptop was designed for easy fan/heatsink service with a separate cover allowing full access to the heatsink assembly w/o removal of any other parts/components. (Kudos to Acer for that) I removed the heatsink/heatpipe and cleaned the 2 relevant motherboard chips and corresponding heatsink surface pads with alcohol. One chip had a thermal pad which I discarded in favor of this thermal grease. The other chip had a dried out grease spot that I just cleaned away. I used a shop vac in reverse to blow out the heatsink radiator fins and fan housing (immobilize the fan impeller if you do this). I applied a moderate film of this product to the two chip surfaces and two heatsink pads and re-installed the fan/heatsink. Re-assembled, and so far, so good. In 7 hrs of runtime, the fan still kicks on to moderate and high speeds, but my CPU temps have stayed below 58C vs 90C shutdown. Ill come back with 5 stars if this lasts the remaining life of the laptop.

Good product to add to electronics for added security from damage.

I use this on nearly every PC I build. Ive even used it to fix my PlayStation 3 once!

Its arcticsilver 5! xD what else is there to say, its the best!

Well constructed easy to use and hard to create a mess. Genius vessel for an otherwise hassle infested product.

Performs great.

I love this stuff. I have used some of the other cheaper stuff before (the white stuff) and they are okay. This stuff definitely is worth the price. When used in my HTPC it lowered the temps enough to the point that the fan does not ramp up to full blast when just idling. Nice.
