Introducing Arctic Silver 5 With
its unique high-density filling of micro-nized silver and enhanced thermally
conductive ceramic particles, Arctic Silver 5 provides a new level of
performance and stability. Now available at Arctic Silver dealers worldwide,
Arctic Silver 5 is definitely The New Reference. For use between modern
high-power CPUs and high performance heatsinks or water-cooling solutions.

 Features |
|
|
| Made with 99.9% pure micronized
silver
Arctic Silver 5 uses three unique shapes and sizes of pure silver
particles to maximize particle-to-particle contact area and thermal
transfer.
Over 88% thermally conductive content by weight
Arctic Silver 5 also contains micron-ized zinc oxide, aluminum oxide and
boron nitride in addition to the silver. These thermally-enhanced ceramic
particles improve the compound's performance and long-term
stability
Controlled triple 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.)
The Leader in Performance
3 to 12 degrees centigrade lower CPU full
load core temperatures than standard thermal compounds or thermal pads. When
measured with a calibrated thermal diode imbedded in the CPU core.
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.)
Approximate
coverage of Arctic Silver 5
Arctic Silver 5 is sold in 3.5 gram and 12
gram tubes. The 3.5 gram tube contains enough compound to cover at least 15 to
25 small CPU cores, or 6 to 10 large CPU cores, or 2 to 5 heat plates. At a
layer 0.003" thick, the 3.5 gram tube will cover approximately 16 square
inches.
