La pâte thermique Arctic Silver 5 de 12g est conforme à la description et fonctionne très bien pour les besoins de refroidissement.Cependant, il est important de prévoir un outil adapté pour l'appliquer correctement et un nettoyant pour préparer la surface avant utilisation. Cela garantit une performance optimale.Je recommande ce produit pour une gestion thermique efficace.

I have been using Artic Silver for years. As far as I am concerned it is the best. Apply it as directed and give it a little while to season and you will see a drop in temps. That is how it works for me my Ryzen processors.

It's thermal paste, it's cheap for the amount you get, it's easy to use. If you're working with a lot of computers and need a lot of thermal paste, this will probably work for you.

Consistently the best T.I.M. At a low price point.Although there are more efficient thermal pastes out there there are none that are as effective at this price point. I have used this product since it first came out and have found it’s Thermal capabilities and lifespan ideal for years of usage. It is a great product and I don’t use anything else.

Decent product, not a thermal grizzly but so much cheaper.Easy to apply and have used it for my CPU. Need to repaste my PS4 as it's never been done in the 6 years I've owned it.

A good quantity of quality compound. I had to upgrade the CPUs in a large stack of dual socket servers and wanted to ensure that they were well connected to the heat sink for many years of happy heat dissipation. This stuff works well, and as always, a little really does go a long way. After putting some on the first CPU and clamping down the heat sink, I waited several minutes and then took it off again to ensure I had applied enough and to make sure it spread well. I actually applied a little too much, but it spread perfectly. Later when the machines were back online, I ran them hard for an hour and checked the CPU temps in the bios. No difference compared to the stock CPUs that came with the server.

Best all-round thermal paste. I;ve used everything from pure ceramic, silicone, copper based, and even GALLIUM! (like mercury!). In the end I always come back to Arctic Silver 5. I rebuild, fix computers a LOT. If your a tinkerer or a system builder just spend a little bit more to get the bigger tube and youll have more for later. I dont think it ever goes bad.remember too - it has a break in period. After putting it on and firing up your computer, play some games and put a load on your cpu for a little while. A couple hours is more than enough. Then let your system cool and repeat. After a day or so check the tension of your heat sink. usually the paste has had time to spread out a little bit and you can tighten the heat sink a little bit more - once done your all set!On my Corsair H100i I get about 5-8c better results than with traditional silver paste. Ive bought the cheap stuff from AliExpress and after a few months that stuff drys up bad and turns to a chalk. Arctic silver makes a nice firm putty consistency after a few months that is still malleable enough to expand and contract as the temps change - this is a good thing as it keeps air pockets out. The only thermal solution that ever beat Arctic Silver 5 was pure gallium but its highly conductive and a mess. It will scatter like mercury and is only recommended for competition overclocking because it needs to be removed frequently as it spreads out and lets air in eventually.

La compre por su buen precio y cantidad (12g) a ese precio consigues una de (4g), es una buena pasta termica, no es la mejor pero si es bastante aceptable.

Für mich die Beste Wärmeleitpadtr am Markt! Warum?Weil sie einen sehr hohen Wärmeleitwert besitzt und einen sehr hohen Silberanteil gegenüber den "günstigen" silikonartigen Pasten. Den grössten Vorteil allerdings wie ich finde und da hab ich wirklich viel Erfshrung in dem Bereich ist, dass die Arctic Silver 5 nicht verhärtet wie die billigen Mainstreampasten und dadurch verlieren diese die Wärmeleitfähigkeit und verflüssigen sich fastvolldtändig auf der CPU-Oberfläche. Die Arctic Silver 5 ist nach 5 Jahren noch so auf dem CPU und Kühler wie aufgetragen und ist perfekt! Ich habe auch schon 15-20C mehr rausgeholt als mit der Standardpaste!Der Preis für die 12g Tube ist für mich genau passend, da ich 10 PCs im Jahr neu versorge mit Paste und daher reicht der Ottonormalverbrauch mit der 3,5g Tube voll aus, da man nutr Erbsengross einen Punkt in der Mitte setzen muss! Achtung: Durch den hohen Silberanteil ist die Paste sehr zähflüssig gegenüber der Billigheimermistpadten am Markt und der CPU muss sich erst mal richtig einbrennen um die volle Leistung zu erhalten und die Padte sich dann perfekt auf CPU und Kühler verteilt hat!

Since I've used this heat sink compound before, I knew what I was getting. I'm happy to say that it hasn't changed. Heat sink compound is suppose to allow the transfer of heat from the CPU to the heat sink and thus keep the CPU from over heating. That's what this stuff does and it doesn't take a big amount of it to do it. Just a small amount spread evenly over the top of the CPU will do the job. I've been using this compound for a while and a friend of mine needed some so I gave him my old tube (Which hadn't run out yet) and got me a new one. A very good brand.

I use many different thermal compounds, depending on what job I am doing, and the Arctic Silver 5 is the best all around compound that is out there IMHO. I use this on CPUs, GPUs, VRAM, basically any chip that will require a removable TIM for mounting a heatsink or liquid cooler mount. This is my go to compound when I am doing any job that is going to require exceptional thermal transfer, such as for overclocking, or mounting in small areas. It is a bit overkill if you are going to just be mounting a stock cooler on a CPU and running the CPU at stock clocks. If you are going to be Overclocking and/or installing a liquid cooling system and need to ensure your temps stay low, this is what you will want to use.***For application clarification only - this is not reflective of the review***I am writing this only because product doesn't come with any clear instructions, so I am hoping this helps with new guys and gals building their own rigs. This part has nothing to do with my actual review of the product.As with the other Arctic Silver compounds and most other brand compounds, after applying it and mounting the heatsink, you will want to cycle the system a few times to ensure that the compound can work it self in. The particles are polygonal so they need to be ran thru a couple of thermal cycles to allow them to mesh up to cover the most surface area. Turn the computer on and let it run for 30-45 minutes under normal use, then shut it down and let it cool to room temperature, then repeat this process a couple of times. Eventually the temps will level out, and you will notice that the temperatures that you get after the break in period will be lower that what they were when you start. When applying this to the chips, it doesn't take a whole lot, so a 12 gram syringe will last a while. Since this is a metallic based compound, you will also want to ensure that when you apply it, that you don't over do it and allow the compound to flow over the edges and get on the circuitry, as it can form an electrical bridge and short something out. For a CPU, a small squeeze, just smaller than a grain of rice is usually more than enough. If you are requiring much more than this, than you may want to check the flatness of the CPU face, and the heatsink face as one of them is warped, concave or convex. This usually happens with aftermarket coolers that require a lot of torque to mount the cooler to the plate. The excessive force applied to the faces, and then thermal cycles are applied to the unit causing it to contort. If that is the case you will need to lap the faces to bring them back into flat. But be careful with doing this as it can be overdone, and it will void the warranty of the CPU if you modify the face. If this is the first time you have heard of lapping, then you probably need to consult someone that is more experienced with this to prevent from ruining your expensive equipment.

Stuff works well, but not quite as much heat dissipation as I would have liked on my heatsync, The temps are lower though.
