Silver thermal paste in a 12 g syringe

Arctic Silver

Arctic Silver 5 AS5-12G thermal paste 12 g

SKU CH-24TV-MYCHR

Silver-based thermal compound in a 12 g syringe for CPU and GPU heat transfer

  • Silver-based compound maximises heat transfer between CPU and cooler
  • 12 g syringe provides enough paste for multiple applications
  • Non-conductive formula prevents short-circuits if paste spreads beyond the die
  • Manufactured in the USA under consistent quality controls
  • Trusted Arctic Silver 5 formulation used by enthusiasts for reliable thermal performance

Premium Silver Compound

Arctic Silver 5 AS5-12G is a high-performance thermal paste formulated with micronised silver particles. The 12 g syringe provides enough compound for multiple CPU or GPU installations. It targets enthusiasts and system builders who need reliable heat transfer between a die and a cooler base.

Thermal Characteristics

The silver-based formula fills microscopic surface imperfections to lower thermal resistance under load. In typical desktop use the compound maintains stable conductivity without pumping out or drying quickly. Electrical non-conductivity prevents short circuits if excess paste bridges nearby components.

Syringe Application

The plunger syringe lets you dispense a precise dot or line directly onto the integrated heat spreader. No separate spatula or spreader tool is bundled, so users apply the paste with the nozzle tip or a clean finger. The 12 g volume covers several reapplications during cooler upgrades or maintenance cycles.

Questions about this item

How do I apply the Arctic Silver 5 AS5-12G from the syringe without creating air bubbles?

Place a small dot or thin line on the centre of the CPU heat spreader, then lower the cooler straight down with even pressure so the paste spreads naturally; lifting the cooler after contact traps air and reduces conductivity.

Will the silver-based compound in the 12 g syringe dry out or need re-application after a few years?

Arctic Silver 5 is designed for long-term stability and does not separate or harden under normal operating temperatures, so routine replacement is not required unless the cooler is removed.

At what point does thermal saturation become the limiting factor during extended heavy loads?

The paste itself remains stable, so the first limit is the cooler's ability to move heat away from the CPU; once the heatsink reaches equilibrium, temperatures stop dropping regardless of compound quality.
