Its controlled triple-phase viscosity ensures optimal application and long-term performance, making it the go-to thermal paste for high-power CPUs and advanced cooling solutions. The 12g tube provides enough compound for multiple builds, delivering reliable heat transfer to keep your processor running cool and efficient. ## Description Thermal compound is necessary to create a reliable transfer of heat from your computer's processor to its heatsink to keep your CPU from overheating. Arctic Silver 5 thermal compound does this with three unique shapes and sizes of pure silver particles to maximize particle-to-particle contact area and thermal transfer. It's optimized for use between modern high-power CPUs and high-performance heatsinks or water-cooling solutions. This 12-gram tube contains enough compound to cover at least 50 small CPU cores, or 20 large CPU cores, or 7 to 15 heat plates. ## Features - The Arctic Silver 5 uses three unique shapes and sizes of pure silver particles to maximize particle-to-particle contact area and thermal transfer - Made With 99.9% Pure Silver - Controlled Triple-Phase Viscosity - High-Density Polysynthetic Silver Thermal Compound ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0087X71ZO | | Best Sellers Rank | #71 in Silicon Grease | | Brand Name | Arctic Tumblers | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 4.8 out of 5 stars (688) | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00800953173567 | | Included Components | Arctic Silver Compound | | Item Dimensions L x W x H | 6"L x 3"W x 8"H | | Item Type Name | Arctic Silver | | Item Weight | 12 g | | Manufacturer | Arctic Silver | | Model | AS5-12G-R | | Number of Items | 1 | | Part Number | AS5-12G-R | | UPC | 800953173567 | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Arctic Tumblers - **Item Weight:** 12 g - **Manufacturer:** Arctic Silver - **Product Dimensions:** 6"L x 3"W x 8"H - **UPC:** 800953173567 ## Images ![Arctic Silver 5 High Density Polysynthetic Silver Thermal Compound -12g (AS5-12G-R) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41+OUouJMtL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: hello, i received the thermal paste in plastic bag instead of retail box, is it authentic?** A: They do sometimes to save space on shipping. **Q: Will this work with intel core i9-10980hk?** A: This is just a heatsink compound that goes between cpu heatspreader and your cooler to fill small gaps and improve heat transfer. Your question is probably more about the cooler in use. Given that this cpu has a 45w TDP, I highly doubt cooling will be a problem unless you plan to do heavy overclocking. Since it normally goes in a laptop being a mobile processor, you probably do not have a cooler choice so it likely will improve heat transfer over stock. I used it in my Alienware and Clevo laptops to replace OEM paste. It may improve things by a few degrees. So yes, this compound will work, just use a tiny amount in the center of cpu heatspreader. Using too much will make heat transfer worse contrary to what many folks think. Just be careful as it's a real chore to clean and do not get it onto motherboard or other areas as it may conduct electricity. I suggest getting Arctic cleaning solution if you do it as a hobby and more than this one time. **Q: What is the max temperature this can be used with? Will it work for 3D Printing hotend?** A: According to the official website. Peak: -50c to <180c Long Term: -50c to 130c I would go off the long term data for something like a 3d printer that could run non stop for hours **Q: How long until I have to reapply or how long does it last until it dries up and stops becoming conductive?** A: It is totally dependent on what CPU you are using it on and how fast and for how long you are running it. Obviously, how you are keeping your computer case cool is also major factor. Every time your cpu gets so hot to push the thermal paste to its limits, it will lose its quality and over time it would fail. However, I have had to reapply the compound every three to five years. I have used it on the CPU generations before Core 2 duo, and then on core 2 quad and my latest was Core I5, model 750. I played the Diablo 3 on it and Heroes of Might and Magic 5 and 6 which are CPU intensive , turn based games. As you may know, the newer generation CPU are far more efficient and generate considerably less heat. I have been using a Zalman cpu fan and never did water cooling but my son plays much more video intensive games and has water cooler on his CPU. I know there is newer thermal pastes out there but this one will do fine for above average needs as well. Well, you would know it when your game slows down suddenly which means your CPU is getting too hot to perform efficiently. Is sure bet in my opinion for most people. ## Frequently Bought Together - Arctic Silver 5 High Density Polysynthetic Silver Thermal Compound -12g (AS5-12G-R) - ArctiClean 60ml Kit 1 & 2 Thermal Grease Paste Compound Remover and Purifier - ARCTIC MX-4 (4 g) - Premium Performance Thermal Paste for All Processors (CPU, GPU - PC), Very high Thermal Conductivity, Long Durability, Safe Application, Non-Conductive --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.be/products/1202751-arctic-silver-5-high-density-polysynthetic-silver-thermal-compound-12g](https://www.desertcart.be/products/1202751-arctic-silver-5-high-density-polysynthetic-silver-thermal-compound-12g) --- *Product available on Desertcart Belgium* *Store origin: BE* *Last updated: 2026-11-13*
