Genesis Trade was nice enough to send me a replacement tube of Arctic Silver after I received my original order of this product with the tip broken off and a bit of paste smeared around inside the plastic shipping bag. I would have been happy with just a new, and empty, syringe but GT was kind enough to send me a filled syringe. Thanks!But, it was shipped in the same way as the last one and I'm just lucky that the tip wasn't broken off during shipping this time. I'll again suggest that they should put a cardboard protector over the tip for shipping. Now, for most users that will just put the tube in their shop, a broken tip isn't that big of a deal, but in my case, I travel all over the country,

I was looking for thermal compound and was delighted to find this. The tube I received is ceramic-based and not silver-based. The only pro for getting a silver-based compound over a ceramic-based compound is that it will conduct infinitesimally better. The major con for getting silver-based over ceramic-based is that the silver conducts electricity while the ceramic does not. This is why I chose the ceramic-based compound. It won't conduct electricity so if I accidentally apply too much or it re-flows due to the heat of operation then I am not worried it will short out any sensitive components. It is easy to control the rate of flow out of the tube so you don't have to worry about it getting everywhere if you are careful.

Excellent product for transfer of heat. I repaired a client's computer with a graphic card that is not replaceable (basically an All-in-One unit). The graphic card is an Nvidia card that was well known for overheating. The card would cause the display to appear defective with vertical lines, banding, cryptic characters on the screen. I cleaned out the chip and heatsink, put the Artic Silver Alumina Thermal Compound between the chip and heatsink, added a small fan to help move the air and prevent heat build up. It has been steady for several months, not one glitch. Client is happy, I am happy. Highly recommended. Plus, this is one of the larger sized tubes,

This syringe should allow you to install a good number of processors for the money. There's not much else included with the product, but if you go to the manufacturer's website, there are detailed instructions for this particular product based on each and every type of CPU. They explain how to apply it, how much to apply, and what the heat transfer properties are. This particular compound has a break in period and does best with cycles of on and off to allow it to heat up and cool down before you get optimal heat transfer. From the start, the thermal transfer was pretty good. As time goes by, I'll continue to monitor the processor's temperature. If what the manufacturer says is true,

This thermal paste is a pretty good deal especially since the size to price ratio is greater than most thermal paste on the market today. I bought this thermal paste to be applied to the GPU and the CPU to my Playstation 3. The PS3 has been known to be a great source of heat and can often overheat to the point where it breaks. Before I applied it, the fans would kick on pretty loudly. However, after I applied it to my PS3, it was dead silent. I downgrade PS3 to make a small buck or two. Being able to say I can replace thermal paste helps my sales. With this product, I can replace the thermal paste to multiple PS3s on the cheap.

I have tried all sorts of other products on the market. Some barely work, but comparing this product to the next best thing (my opinion and tests) the result is that using this product greatly increases the efficiency of the heat transfer and for the types of server product my small business creates, it reduces the CPU temperature by 2 to 8 Degrees Centigrade compared to the next best thing and does not deteriorate with time.You only use this stuff once. Yes it is expensive, in fact probably the most expensive on the market, but compared to a $450 CPU it is peanuts so if you want great performance and long life from your CPU, use the best. I never use anything else.

I was a bit hesitant about buying this Artic Silver for my older laptop processor, but there was no need to worry. I rebuilt an old laptop and had to replace the prior compound on the chips. I cleaned the chips really well with alcohol and waited for them to dry. Put this compound on and it works great. This laptop used to push out so much heat, now barely anything. Great product, easy to use and Amazon pricing is awesome!Update: Since I have a large tube of this I figured I would change the compound on another laptop that is running very hot. I replaced with this compound and the laptop is running cooler. Great product.

I bought this thermal compound a while ago, and have just now gotten around to writing a review on it. I would've preferred to get a tube of Arctic Silver 5, but this is close enough in terms of thermal protection. I've used it to re-apply the heatsinks to my Xbox 360, both old and new versions, as well as my CPU on my computer. So far it's holding up well and seems to provide enough protection. Doesn't give me a drastic decrease in temps but not many of these types of compounds will. The tube is plenty large enough though, I'd say you should be able to get about 40-50 applications out of one tube. Great price too!

Review update. This is not the same as the old white junk as I originally thought, I jumped to conclusions. This stuff actually works great and is what I use for 90% of my work. I still use the Silver for items that are known to have overheating problems (PS3, xbox 360, laptops from the "Vista era", etc) but for the most part I use this stuff on most of the computers that come in and I do not have any issues with it at all and it saves me money. This is a reason I try to keep things for a while before I write a review on it but I did not do that this time and actually forgot about it until the comment.

I had installed a Zalman 9700 "Ferris wheel" CPU cooler. I ended up replacing the Mobo since I had compatibility issues in the exchange. Bought new Mobo and had plenty left to re-install, and then enough to re-install the old CPU and cooler back on the original Mobo.It appears this new synthetic compound does not harden and become crusty at least in in the first 2 weeks.With that huge Zalman cooler, I bumped it while running wires in the new case. The cooler did a right oblique and I was able to straighten it back up with no problem.

I just used this paste in a bid to make my overheating CPU quiet (I mean all these BIOS beeps when the CPU temperature goes high). What I did first was the heatsink internal surface polishing. The second I did is the thermal paste replacement. This paste is blindingly white. The result: it have helped a lot.The temperature in my room now is about 27 degrees of Celsius while the CPU temperature is about 60 degrees. It my reach 69,5 degrees but on a very chort time with prolonged 100% CPU utilization.

Arrived the same day as my new DLP chip for my Samsung HL67A750 TV. Scraped the old heat sink compound off of the heat sink (it had a dry, rubbery consistency to it and scraped off easily with my fingernail) and used this to replace it. New compound syringe works quite well as an applicator. It was easy to apply and I actually used very little of what is in the tube. I'll have lots of extra should any new projects come around that require heat sink compound. Seems to be really good stuff.

The description title is a bit deceitful -- should say "Arctic Alumana BY Arctic Silver." Did a search for Arctic Silver (my standard) and saw this one. Thinking this would be a full 14gm of Arctic Silver, I grabbed it up. Nope...just the runny stuff (Arctic Alumina), but it works okay for general builds (heatsink to CPU). Tried to get Amazon to change the listing title, but I think it was too difficult for them to understand. Not to mention, the overall sales might go down. Go figure.

I have a home based custom computer build and repair company and I believe in high quality products and use them in every build and repair. This has so far helped me create many low temp, low noise computers consistently every time. I use this to replace factory applied thermal past with no draw backs and much improvement in the thermal cooling and thus lower fan speed and noise of the overall computer. definetly will buy again when I run out

Seems to work fine.I applied this grease to a low end processor/heatsink that was installed into a PC that is only used as a routing appliance. That said, this Arctic grease looks and behaves like every other grease I've used so I'm giving it 5 stars.I still have lots left over so perhaps some day I'll update this review with information from a performance driven configuration.
