Arctic Silver AS-AS5-12 5 Thermal Compound 12 Gram Tube [AS-AS5-12]

Arctic Silver AS-AS5-12 Description:

Manufacturer: Arctic Silver. Arctic Silver 5 provides a new level of performance and stability. It is optimized for use between modern high-power CPUs and high performance heatsinks or water-cooling solutions. Arctic Silver 5 uses three unique shapes and sizes of pure Silver particles to maximize particle-to-particle contact area and thermal transfer. Arctic 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. Arctic Silver 5 does not contain any silicone. The suspension fluid is a proprietary mixture of advanced polysynthetic oils that work together to provide three distinctive functional phases. As it comes from the tube, Arctic Silver 5's consistency is engineered for easy application. During the CPU's initial use, 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. Then the compound thickens slightly over the next 50 to 200 hours of use to its final consistency designed for long-term stability. Arctic Silver 5 was formulated to conduct heat, not electricity. Arctic Silver 5 will not separate, run, migrate, or bleed. Performance: 3 to 12 degrees centigrade lower CPU full load core temperatures than standard thermal compounds or thermal pads when measured with a calibrated thermal diode imbedded in the CPU core. This is a 12g tube.
