❄️ Arctic Silver 5 Thermal Compound (Pack of 2): Ultimate Heat Management Solution Review

I've been using Arctic Silver since the 90's. This is without a doubt the best thermal paste. It doesn't take much. Over the years I have been able to lower the temperature by several degrees on many types of devices. If your processor or even your graphics card doesn't cool well, replacing the cheap paste with arctic silver can help. This may not always result in a significant drop in temperature if the other paste was decent and applied well. However, you will notice a difference in how much…

About once a year I replace the thermal grease on all my electronic devices (laptops, routers, etc.) and use it always Arctic Silver 5. It's almost like magic. When I recreated the inlay on my wife's 2008 MacBook Pro (remember the Nvidia dispute/recall, anyone?), the screen tears during video playback literally disappeared.

I have been using Arctic Silver products since about 2002. I've gone through interactions with Arctic Silver (no number), 2, 3, 5 over the years. If you want to run your CPU at the lowest possible temperatures (given heatsink and airflow limitations), Arctic Silver is by far the best option. Heat is the great destroyer of computer components (hard drive, processor, memory, etc.). Anything that reduces heat will greatly increase component life. Adequate airflow should be the first consideration,
