AS 5 for $5

 

[Chunkee]

nice find

 

[Killrose]

I bought some of this, and a couple of their 60x15 CPU heatsink fans for 1.99ea, but they did hit me with shipping once I added the fans. Pretty quick shipping and the fans are decent for replacements on old heatsinks.

great stuff

 

[billybrown]

picked some up. looked pretty good based on that review on the link

 

[MattStone]

Good deal. Bought some cold cathodes for a friend too.

 

[mooteh]

Never tried anything else besides the regular thermal grease. $5 seems a little expensive for 3.5g of stuff like this but I guess I can just skip dinner for one day and find out if it was really worth the $5.40.

Grabbed two...thanks.

Yes, it's very worth it. I got my CPU's temp down 8ºC down on load just by wiping the sillycone and putting this in place.

Trust me that one tube will last a long time
And it is very worth it even if you don't overclock.

Is Arctic Silver 5 an improvement over Arctic Silver 3? I was going to get some but I still have a large amount of AS3 left.

 

[monodax]

I ordered this from the company when it was first advertised and they shipped it out the next business day. I was also suprised to the size of the tube but like what was stated before you just need a small amount so it should last many cpu's.

 

[ronton888]

Thanks, I just ordered a tube. No more cheap radioshack thermal paste that turns into a dry powder after a few months.

 

[dragonlord2112]

Is it just me, or is the screen where you enter your CC# NOT SECURE? I get an error saying some of the page is secure and some not...

EDIT: Nevermind. It appears secure..at least the page properties say so.

As far as Arctic Silver... I haven't used that crappy paste stuff in years since switching to AS.

 

[cmv]

In stock right now with free first class shipping for anyone that is still looking. My crappy white paste dried up so I'm in for a tube.

 

[onza]

ordered!

exactly what i was going to ask. i am using as5 currently, but seems that my temps are actually higher than when i had as3...

[nero2]

If you've got AS3 right now, it's not worth getting AS5. If you're using anything older (AS2) or any sort of generic thermal grease, AS5 is a noticable improvement.

 

[redass1876]

how big of a difference from AS ceramique to AS5?

 

[rickon66]

I went from using Antec brand silver compound to AS5 and it seemed to lower temps about 5 degrees F. What really impressed me was how fast the temps dropped after removing the load on the CPU. This indicated to me that the AS5 really transfered heat very quickly. I was skeptical, now I am impressed.

I remember buying my first tube of AS (3) in a similar deal a couple years ago. I?m still using it. I?ll bet you can get 50 uses out of one tube if you do it the right way.
Application Instructions for Premium Silver Thermal Compound
If you can find the white plastic toothpicks that look like a hockey stick, they work perfect as a spreader.
I just ordered one. Thanks.

Thanks just ran out.
