Conclusions:

Arctic Silver did an excellent job of listening to its consumer base and addressing the concerns they expressed. The new Arctic Silver 5 is a thicker paste resulting in better long term application with less being squeezed out between the core and the heatsink base. It also has greater thermal conductivity properties which will result in slightly lower temperatures over Arctic Silver 3. In addition the paste has superior application and removal properties due to its thickness (viscosity) making it easier to apply and remove.

We will be using Arctic Silver 5 in our test rigs in future articles and bring you the results as we get them.

Techwarelabs would like to give a big TWO THUMBS UP to Arctic Silver for kindly sending us this sample to review. We highly recommend this product to any consumer seeking to edge out a few degrees and help in running the CPU cooler.

Pro's:
Easy to Apply
Increased thermal Conductivity
