Reviews (633)
Thermal compound is necessary to create a reliable transfer of heat from your computer's processor to its heatsink to keep your CPU from overheating. Arctic Silver 5 thermal compound does this with three unique shapes and sizes of pure silver particles to maximize particle-to-particle contact area and thermal transfer. It's optimized for use between modern high-power CPUs and high-performance heatsinks or water-cooling solutions. This 12-gram tube contains enough compound to cover at least 50 small CPU cores, or 20 large CPU cores, or 7 to 15 heat plates.
Note: This is an OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) version, which includes the product, but nothing else. They are packaged generically and are best suited for system builders who don't require documentation or bundled accessories.
Arctic Silver 5 is the reference high-density silver thermal compound from Arctic Silver, made with 99.9% pure micronized silver and enhanced thermally conductive ceramic particles. It is made for the gap between modern high-power CPUs and high-performance air coolers or water blocks, contains no silicone and is not electrically conductive. This listing is the 12-gram syringe.
Properties
- Type: Silver thermal compound (paste)
- Filler: 99.9% pure silver plus zinc oxide, aluminum oxide and boron nitride
- Filler content: Over 88% by weight
- Silicone: None
- Electrical conductivity: Not electrically conductive (very slightly capacitive)
- Syringe: 12 g
Made with 99.9% pure silver
Arctic Silver 5 uses three unique shapes and sizes of pure silver particles. Arctic Silver says this maximizes the particle-to-particle contact area and the heat transfer through the compound.
High density
More than 88% of the compound by weight is thermally conductive filler. Next to the micronized silver it holds sub-micron zinc oxide, aluminum oxide and boron nitride particles, which Arctic Silver says improve both performance and long-term stability.
Controlled triple-phase viscosity
The suspension fluid is a proprietary mix of advanced polysynthetic oils, with no silicone. As it comes from the syringe the compound is easy to spread. During the first use of the CPU it thins out to fill the microscopic valleys between heatsink and heat spreader, then over the next 50 to 200 hours it thickens slightly to its final consistency for long-term stability. Arctic Silver points out that this is not a phase change pad that melts and solidifies with every heat cycle; the changes are much more subtle.
Technical data

- Coverage of the 3.5 g syringe: 15 to 25 small CPU cores, 6 to 10 large CPU cores or 2 to 5 heat plates; about 16 square inches at 0.003" thick
- Appearance: Gray, odorless grease
- Compliance: RoHS 3
- Syringe content: 12 g
Notes
- Arctic Silver advises against Arctic Silver 5 on the old slot-type Intel Xeon processors, whose large interfaces and wide gaps need a thermal pad or a thick mesh-reinforced paste. Socket-type Xeons are fine.
- Clean the old compound off with ArctiClean or isopropyl alcohol before a new application. Arctic Silver keeps its application methods for Intel and AMD processors on its website.
- Arctic Silver sells Arctic Silver 5 in a 3.5-gram and a 12-gram syringe for retail. This listing is the 12-gram syringe.
