High-density silver thermal compound

Arctic Silver 5 is a premium thermal grease formulated with micronized silver and enhanced ceramic particles. The high-density polysynthetic compound targets modern high-power CPUs paired with performance heatsinks or water-cooling solutions. It delivers reference-grade thermal transfer for demanding processor installations.

Triple Phase Viscosity characteristic

The compound exhibits Triple Phase Viscosity that changes behaviour during application and thermal cycling. This property helps the material achieve thin, even bond lines across mating surfaces. The viscosity profile supports consistent coverage without pump-out under clamping pressure.

Sustained load stability

The silver-ceramic matrix maintains thermal performance across extended operating periods rather than degrading after initial heat cycles. Enhanced conductive particles resist separation under continuous high-temperature stress. The formulation is optimised for stability in long-duration workloads on CPUs and GPU coolers.

Highlights

  • High-density silver compound maximises heat transfer
  • Triple-phase viscosity eases precise application
  • Micronized silver plus ceramic particles boost conductivity
  • Optimised for modern CPUs and high-performance coolers

Questions about this item

How much thermal paste does the 0.12 oz syringe cover on a CPU?

The 0.12 oz syringe provides enough compound for multiple standard desktop CPU applications, typically covering the integrated heat spreader with a thin, even layer.

Does the Triple Phase Viscosity characteristic affect how the compound spreads under a heatsink?

Triple Phase Viscosity allows the grease to thin during installation for optimal spread, then thicken to maintain consistent contact without pump-out over thermal cycles.

What heatsink mounting pressure works best with this silver-based compound?

The compound is optimized for a wide range of bond lines, performing well under typical spring-loaded CPU cooler mounting mechanisms found on modern sockets.
