Instructions: How to apply thermal compound. Important Reminder: Due to the unique shape and sizes of the particles in Arctic Silver 5's conductive matrix, it will take a up to hours and several thermal cycles to achieve maximum particle to particle thermal conduction and for the heatsink to CPU interface to reach maximum conductivity. This period will be longer in a system without a fan on the heatsink or with a low speed fan on the heatsink. On systems measuring actual internal core temperatures via the CPU's internal diode, the measured temperature will often drop 2C to 5C over this "break-in" period.
This break-in will occur during the normal use of the computer as long as the computer is turned off from time to time and the interface is allowed to cool to room temperature. Once the break-in is complete, the computer can be left on if desired. Caution: We do not recommend using Arctic Silver 5 on the older slot type Intel Xeon processors with large multiple square inch CPU to heatsink interfaces.
The huge contact area and large gaps between the processor and the heatsink require a thermal pad or thick mesh-reinforced paste. 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.
Absolute Stability: Arctic Silver 5 will not separate, run, migrate, or bleed. Rating Required Select Rating 1 star worst 2 stars 3 stars average 4 stars 5 stars best. Email Required. 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. Then the compound thickens slightly over the next 50 to 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. While much safer than electrically conductive silver and copper greases, Arctic Silver 5 should be kept away from electrical traces, pins, and leads.

I am not going to write much about the performance of AS5, because there are lots of reviews on the Internet. I just wanted to say that the 12g tube looks like it is going to last for ever!
At first when I looked at coverage area data for the 3. I highly recommend this thermal paste to who need to upgrade their CPU on their existing cooling system. My favourite thermal paste. Dropped temps by 10 degrees. Prime95 running for 24hrs, max temps were 35! Just try to get a good thin layer over the whole top of the heatsink and you'll be fine. Just check your temps. Here's a link to show you to place thermal sensors. Jul 2, 17 0 18, 0.
This is a ac freezer pro 7. My system is overclocked from 2. I just applied the AC 5 by putting a small line vertically and then putting the heatsink on top. I took the heatsink off to take a look at the spread, and it covered the cpu perfectly without going over. My only concern is that I may have put a little too much. We'll see. Anyway, my idle temps are the same, but my load temps went from 70 to about I hear that immediately after applying, your temps may spike a little until it settles in.
You think the spike is too much, or will it be fine in a week? PS this is all coretemp not speedfan. I prefer to keep the temps under 70, but as low as possible. Anoobis Splendid. Feb 4, 3, 0 22, 0. You just did something completely unnecessary as the pre-applied Arctic Cooling MX-1 compound on the Freezer 7 Pro works just as good better in many cases on the Freezer Series as AS5 and just as good as AS5 with other heatsinks.
What is the average temperature of the room the unit is in and what kind of airflow does the case have? Your idle temps still seem like they could be improved, but they're still acceptable. Especially air cooling. You should have 3 mm fans, plus an 80mm with that Lian-Li so you should have more than adequate case airflow and I doubt you're using the shroud but if the room is hot you can only expect so much.
I would suggest re-applying the AS5 one more time. You need to completely remove any old thermal paste from both the CPU and the heatsink. I use q-tips, but a lot of people suggest a coffee filter to use to wipe away the old stuff.
I believe wusy uses rubbing alcohol followed by a little turpentine. Moisten the coffee filter or q-tip with the rubbing alcohol and start cleaning the heatsink and CPU off.
Repeat with the turpentine. I would also read through the Freezer 7 Pro's instructions on properly mounting the heatsink to make sure it's seated correctly. If you put on a decent amount of compound regardless of what kind you use, most included pastes today are pretty good , and you have good airflow in your case and a good heatsink with decent stock fan you should be fine as long as you're not OC'ing. A little too much thermal compound is better than too little. It doesn't matter if it squeezes out the sides of the die a bit, it's really not going anywhere, unless you way over applied it.
Just make sure the heatsink is in good contact and that your temps are within normal range for the first couple of days and you'll be fine. Check your temps every now and then for the first few weeks particularly in the first few days, and try some heavy gaming to test it and then again about 8 months or so down the road.
