Arctic Silver 5 Thermal Cooling Compound Paste 3.5g High-Density Polysynthetic Silver (Arctic Clean + Arctic Silver Bundle)

I've used Arctic Silver 5 for years, and it continues to be one of the most reliable thermal compounds out there. The 3.5g size with the included applicator tool is perfect for multiple builds or upgrades. The paste is easy to apply, spreads evenly, and doesn't dry out quickly like some lower-quality alternatives.After applying it to both a CPU and GPU, I saw a noticeable drop in temperatures—around 5–8°C improvement compared to stock thermal paste. The high-density polysynthetic silver formulation does an excellent job of transferring heat efficiently.Whether you're building a new rig or refreshing an old one, Arctic Silver 5 is a proven, high-performance choice that continues to deliver excellent results. Highly recommended for both beginners and seasoned PC builders!

Opened my PS4 for the first time ever, lots of guides are absolutely horrible at guiding you through the process I have found. After taking it apart completely (cleaning it) and putting it back together, I noticed a huge difference in the home screen alone. Launching a game was a different story; it was way louder than it had ever been. I failed to reapply thermal paste, bought this, applied it, put it back together along with some new thermal pads. Its never been quieter. These are the thermal pads I used, they're already precut, they do slightly hang over the RAM chips, but I don't think that's a bad thing - they aren't too big, but they're immensely bigger than the originals: "SIXQJZML 30Pcs 15x15x1mm Soft Silicone Thermal Conductive Pads Heatsink IC Chipset Northbridge for CPU GPU Heatsink" . I'm shocked honestly! Very happy with my purchase, I would definitely recommend to anyone at all with a loud PS4. Going to really put it to the test today by streaming some Titanfall 2 multiplayer. If you want a good guide, look for "How To Refurbish PS4 Model CUH-1215A" (the channel is called "Console Fix") on YouTube, that guy's video saved me a lot of trouble. The only bad thing I could say about the video was that the camera quality is in 480p (but he does have 2 camera angles), which won't really affect the process, just be sure to pay attention and you'll be fine. 10/10 - Small grey pads are original, big blue ones are new, had pictures of old thermal paste but can't find them, needless to say it was mostly dry and cracked - * BE CARFUL - taking the top and bottom shell off, I some how or another ended up with 2 plastic tabs which I can only assume snapped off of one of the plastic shells when prying it open. Everything still went together fine, it just wont hurt to have all plastic clamps still on your console.*

Got a new tube as the old would have been over 5 years old. This paste works great had not changed it in over 6 years as live has been happening and I just forgot about it as my cpu been running great. My husband had pc problem so I decided to start with a good clean and a cpu re-paste. I have also used it on my GPUs and it still works great. I will keep using this. The paste applier helped greatly. This was the first time I used one and it cleans up really nice.

Used this on my last i5-2500 rig and it lasted for almost 10 years. Retired it before it died, it still works actually.Just used it again on the new i7-12700k and been almost 5 months and it's no hotter than the i5 rig ever got. Seems fine so far.Same thing I used on the older pc before the i5, and old AMD athlon iirc. That one... did have a CPU short but I pushed it well beyond it's operating specs (not OC'ing it, just keeping a heavy work load, ps2 emulation was what killed it I remember) for a long time. Never had that problem repeat, may have been the athlon or it's motherboard, it would instantly get so hot, I think the thermal paste simply wore out. But ran the i5 machine for sure from 2015-2022 when I retired it and this stuff was never changed once. May check a couple times a year from now on though and replace as necessary, now that I think back and remember that old athlon that died from overheat. Good stuff.

ProsEasy to applyGreat valueUseful spreaderSafer materials to work with than many on the marketMade in the USAConsNot made for high clocked CPUs like most 13th and 14th gen Intel processors

works as intended. easy to use and set up. small size but you really just need a small dab.

The spread tool helps a lot

Great product
