It's time for the numbers. In addition to testing liquid metal compounds and thermally conductive adhesives, each paste is discussed on its own merits before we chart out the results of four usage cases. After all, these products behave differently. If...

It has been many years since weve heard any news in the thermal paste industry. Ever since products rolling off Arctic Silvers production lines has become "the" -- with a huge emphasis on the -- standard of thermal pastes among computer enthusiasts (...

The Arctic Silver 5 handles low temperatures well enough to still be a top contender. When the heat starts pumping though, the AS5 takes its game to the next level and provides the extra few centigrade reduction in temperatures...
With the information I gathered here, I guess I cannot call the temperature chart on the MX-3 package completely accurate. The Arctic Cooling MX-3 does extremely well with low temperatures, but does not seem to excel with higher temperatures. The Arct...

Affectionately named 'goop', Thermal Interface Compound (TIC) plays a key role in transferring the heat from your processor to your heatsink or water block. There are 3 primary types of compound: Silicone, Ceramic and Metal based all of which have thei...
For me the competition really came down to two candidates, the Arctic Silver 5 and the Coollaboratory Liquid Pro. The Arctic Silver produced some good results and was by far the easiest to spread out of all the compounds, however its performance was somew...

I like Arctic Silver 5. It improved every so slightly but every bit counts. It’s thicker, a new color, and temperatures decreased. If you already have Arctic Silver Ceramqiue you shouldn’t upgrade to Arctic Silver 5 yet. It’s just a small difference...

Well you went out and spent over two hundred for a top-of-the -line water cooling system, but still want to get more out of your ninety dollar CPU? You’ve tried overclocking, but you always have problems with heat, even with the best of blocks. Not...
Well, as I’m sure most of you were expecting to see, Arctic Silver 5 came out on top, by a few degrees. If you have some Ceramique lying around and aren’t Overclocking every last ounce of juice out of your CPU, then I personally wouldn’t...

Thermal grease is a critical and necessary component of any current computer system. With the release of the Athlon processors up to the Intel Prescott, thermal grease has gained more importance and exposure as a system component that requires attenti...
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...

Articsilver 5I have been a fan of artic silver for quite a long time. My first experience with artic sliver was with AS3, just applying it instead of standard generic goop decreased my temperatures by a significant amount.. I have been using the same t...

The effect of thermal interface should not be underestimated in the world of CPU and GPU coolers where much effort is spent to lower the temperature of electronic chips by even one or two degrees. Coolers have got so sophisticated nowadays that we cann...
