Questions about Arctic Silver Thermopaste silver 5 (3.5g)

A portion the size of a grain of rice in the middle of the CPU is sufficient. This is then evenly distributed by the pressure of the cooler.

if you want something on the shop: Arctic Silver ArctiClean 30+30ml (60g) If you want to dissolve a pad, it might be useful! With paste, I have so far simply scraped off finely, handkerchief and then ethanol and these moist spectacle cleaning cloths^^. I have never had to remove a pad! Here is the link to the description http://www.arcticsilver.com/arcticlean.htm

It depends on which manufacturer. But this one is quite good. For water cooling, however, Thermal Grizzly Hydronaut is the best. I don't know if it's wise to smear a paste like this one, which also contains some silver, on an AIO cooling system. I would make sure and use the Hydronaut. A grain of rice in the middle is tried and tested, simple and covers the largest part in the middle, where it is most important. Some say you can also use a pea-sized portion.

Hello No, this thermal compound is not electrically conductive... See manufacturer info: http://www.arcticsilver.com/as5.htm

Approx. 1 gram is enough for a CPU. As a rule, you underestimate the Mende and apply far too much. But a wafer-thin layer (according to the Internet 0.3 mm) is enough. The surface is smooth, it's just a matter of smoothing out the irregularities that are not visible to the eye and ensuring that the metal surfaces stick together so that there is no air in between. I apply a small amount in the middle of the CPU (about half of a pea). Then I press the cooler onto it and take it away again. You can then see how the paste has spread. If the heatspreader is not completely covered, apply a very small amount again and then mount the cooler. You can also spread the paste carefully, e.g. with a piece of cardboard. You will then immediately notice if you have applied too much. If the paste runs over the edge of the heat spreader, it is too much.

It shouldn't be a problem in my opinion, many YT tutorials use Arctic Silver 5 or similar for the CPU replacement on the Mac Pro 2010, I myself did it in March with this paste here: Cooler Master MasterGel Maker (11W/m K, 4g) and have had no problems so far.

Hello. You did everything right except remove the paste with coffee filter paper. Simply spread so much (little) paste evenly on the CPU with the card that the metal is barely visible. Put the cooler on top and that's it.

There is always something better, but usually there are differences of a few degrees Celsius. You may have applied too much or too little thermal paste. The cooler is not mounted correctly. The cooling/ventilation in the case is not optimal. The fans on the radiator are not turned up to full power. Also note that it is summer and the room temperature has a direct influence on the overall temperature. According to my information, the following thermal pastes are better: Better than Arctic 5: GELID GC Extreme (3.50g, 8.50W/m K) Better than Gelid Extreme: Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut (1g, 12.50W/m K) On the internet you can find an incredible amount of information on this, comparison of thermal pastes and temperatures, why is the temp too high for my CPU, etc. You might be interested in the following article: http://www.overclock.net/t/1557044/gelid-solutions-extreme-vs-arctic-silver-5-comparison

there must have been server problems, but the question was still asked... Simply disregard :P

This is heat conductive paste. It is used to better conduct the heat from the CPU to the cooler. This means: If you assemble a PC yourself, you smear a little of this paste on the processor and only then attach the cooler. This is the only way to ensure optimum cooling of the PC.
