Comments about Thermaltake Arctic Silver® Silver 5 Thermal Compound:

I originally forgot to buy this when I ordered all my parts for the new computer I was building. Ended up using the compound that came with my new Coolermaster V8 to install onto a i7 920. That was a mistake; temps were way too high for my taste and overheating on burn in tests. I was surprised to find out my local RadioShack carried this brand of thermal compound and ran out the door to buy it right away. Now my i7 920 CPU doesn’t overheat while over clocking from stock 2.6 GHz to 3.8 GHz

Its the Standard for a TIM

Comments about Thermaltake Arctic Silver® Silver 5 Thermal Compound:

Definitely the best for the job.It can be difficult to apply but still there is no other TIM(Thermal Interface Material) I recommend. And price wise(bought locally at RS) it compares to buying it online at Parts stores when you include shipping in the price. @ RS Stores its [$] and change, online at the only parts store I use anymore its [$], So there really is no reason to buy it online as long as your RS carries it. Especially if you forget to add it to your order when buying parts that will need it.

Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Comments about Thermaltake Arctic Silver® Silver 5 Thermal Compound:

AS5 is the standard for all PC builds and repairs. Even if a system has stock paste on it when i repair it, i always replace it with AS5 anyway, because that little extra bonus makes my customers happy. When i show them that the system runs 10c cooler than before, they can't thank me enough, especially if they're gamers. This stuff is mandatory for overclocking, whether you're using air or water-cooling, nothing works as well as AS5 for reliable heat transfer and longevity. I use it on EVERY PC i repair or build.

This stuff is amazing! It helps keep my Intel Quad Core Processor at minimum temperatures, and if you use the guide on Arctic Silver's site to install it, it's incredibly simple. One of the best Thermal Compounds for processors I have every used!
