Key Features 99.9% Pure Micronized Silver — Maximizes particle-to-particle contact for superior heat transfer 88%+ Thermally Conductive Filler — Silver + zinc oxide, aluminum oxide, and boron nitride for enhanced conductivity Triple-Phase Viscosity — Thins on first use to fill surface gaps, stabilizes over 50–200 hours Not Electrically Conductive — Safe for CPU and GPU applications No Silicone — Polysynthetic Oil Base — Will not separate, run, or migrate over time -50°C to 180°C Peak Range — Stable across all desktop and workstation thermal conditions 1, 2, 5, and 10-Piece Packs — 3.5g per tube covers 15–25 small or 6–10 large CPU cores Arctic Silver 5 is one of the most widely used and trusted high-performance thermal compounds available, built around a high-density polysynthetic silver formulation that has been the reference standard for enthusiasts and professionals for decades. Each 3.5g tube contains over 88% thermally conductive filler by weight — combining micronized pure silver with sub-micron ceramic particles to fill microscopic surface irregularities between CPU and heatsink more effectively than standard pastes. The triple-phase viscosity behavior sets Arctic Silver 5 apart from single-viscosity compounds. Fresh from the syringe it applies easily; it thins under initial heat to maximize surface contact; then stabilizes over 50–200 hours of use into its final long-term consistency. The result is a compound that improves slightly after break-in and then remains stable indefinitely without separation, migration, or bleed. Available in 1, 2, 5, and 10-piece packs, it suits everything from a single build to a professional workshop.
