Contains 99.9% pure silver:
Arctic Silver 5 uses three unique shapes and sizes of pure silver particles to maximize particle-to-particle contact area and thermal transfer.
High-Density:
Arctic Silver 5 contains over 88% thermally Conductive filler by weight. In addition to micronized silver, Arctic Silver 5 also contains sub-micron zinc oxide, aluminum oxide and boron nitride particles. These thermally-enhanced ceramic particles improve the compound's performance and long-term stability.
Controlled Tripple-Phase Viscosity:
Arctic Silver 5 does not contain any silicone. The suspension fluid is a proprietary mixture of advanced polysynthetic oils that work together to provide three distinctive functional phases. As it comes from the tube, Arctic Silver 5's consistency is engineered for easy application. During the CPU's initial use, the compound thins out to enhance the filling of the microscopic valleys and ensure the best physical contact between the heatsink and the CPU core. Then the compound thickens slightly over the next 50 to 200 hours of use to its final consistency designed for long-term stability.
(This should not be confused with conventional phase change pads that are pre-attached to many heatsinks. Those pads melt each time they get hot then re-solidify when they cool. The viscosity changes that Arctic Silver 5 goes through are much more subtle and ultimately much more effective.)
Not Electrically Conductive:
Arctic Silver 5 was formulated to conduct heat, not electricity.
(While much safer than electrically conductive silver and copper greases, Arctic Silver 5 should be kept away from electrical traces, pins, and leads. While it is not electrically conductive, the compound is very slightly capacitive and could potentially cause problems if it bridges two close-proximity electrical paths.)
Absolute Stability:
Arctic Silver 5 will not separate, run, migrate, or bleed.

I've been using Arctic Silver for many years as my thermal paste of choice. It's easy to apply and provides great cooling. And although this is the smaller 3.5g sized tube, it will last a long time if you are using the correct amount of thermal paste. I will buy this again when I run out.

I have not had this thermal paste for very long, but I was pleased with the application process. The paste is a bit thick, but once its in place, that is not really an issue. The thickness is to be expected with a high density thermal compound, so it is an inherent con.
Compared to "stock" thermal compound, this is a much better performing paste. I would recommend it to anyone who needs new paste.

This is by far the best for buck thermal paste. I had to redo the paste on some friend cpu. The guy that did it before me had put way too much paste. the CPU (AMD 3200+) was running at 70c in burn. Now that I have redo the paste, it idle at 29 and burn at 40.

This thermal paste does a great job keeping the CPU cool. My temps dropped an average of 5 degrees Celsius. Would definitely purchase again.
