Arctic Silver 5 Extensive Review

Cooling/Thermal Compounds by jmke @ 2003-12-14

Arctic Silver 5 compared to its older brother AS3 and Coolermaster Premium (Shin Etsu). How does it perform? We test it on an Intel system, letting each compound "burn in" for 3 days.

The installation instructions suggest the use of the included "bankcard" to spread out the compound, I found it very difficult to get an evenly applied result. So in the end I used the same "dot-in-the-middle" method and it worked perfectly
