Arctic Silver
Arctic Silver 5 thermal paste 2×12 g
Two 12 g tubes of high-density silver thermal compound for CPU and GPU heat transfer
- Polysynthetic silver compound improves heat transfer
- Two 12 g tubes give ample supply for multiple builds
- High-density formula fills microscopic gaps effectively
- Non-conductive material prevents electrical short circuits
- Long-lasting stability maintains performance over time
Arctic Silver 5 Twin Pack
This two-pack supplies two 12-gram tubes of Arctic Silver 5 thermal compound for builders who need reliable paste for multiple CPU installations. The polysynthetic silver formula suits desktop processors and GPU coolers where consistent thermal transfer matters. Buyers who only ever service a single chip once will find the second tube unnecessary.
Applying Arctic Silver 5
The compound spreads evenly under mounting pressure and does not require pre-heating or special tools for a clean application. A thin, uniform layer avoids air pockets that reduce contact between the die and the cooler base. Over-application can cause excess paste to squeeze onto surrounding components and create a messy cleanup.
Capacity and Coverage
Each 12-gram tube covers several standard desktop CPU applications with margin to spare for re-dos after testing. The twin pack handles a full system build plus a spare GPU or future maintenance without running short. Extremely large server heat-spreaders or repeated reapplications across many machines will eventually deplete the supply.

Questions about this item
How can I verify the Arctic Silver 5 paste is performing correctly after applying it to my CPU?
Monitor CPU temperatures under idle and load using hardware monitoring software; a proper application typically shows lower peak temperatures and stable thermal behaviour compared to previous paste.
The listing says a 2-pack of 12-gram tubes — does that include applicators or do I need to buy them separately?
The pack contains two 12-gram tubes of Arctic Silver 5 compound; no applicators or cleaning wipes are mentioned, so plan to source those separately if required.
Should I choose the 12-gram tube or a smaller size for a single CPU build?
Each 12-gram tube provides enough compound for multiple CPU applications, making the 2-pack practical if you service several systems or want a spare for future builds.
