Arctic Silver 5 3.5g syringe with ArctiClean 60ml dual-bottle kit

Arctic Silver

Arctic Silver 5 thermal paste 3.5g with ArctiClean 60ml kit

SKU CH-XPW4-PFENA

High-density silver thermal compound with 88% filler and a two-step 60 ml cleaning kit for CPU or GPU installs

  • Plug typeThermal Compound
  • Non-conductive paste prevents short circuits
  • 9 % pure silver maximises heat transfer
  • 88 % filler by weight ensures dense thermal path
  • ArctiClean 1 and 2 remove old compound in under a minute
  • 5 g syringe with 60 ml cleaner kit covers multiple installations

Premium thermal kit for CPU and GPU installs

Arctic Silver 5 delivers 3.5g of high-density compound made with 99.9% pure silver and ceramic fillers. The formula exceeds 88% thermally conductive filler by weight for maximum particle contact. ArctiClean 1 and 2 combine for 60ml of surface preparation fluid to remove old paste residue. Non-electrically conductive paste will not migrate or bleed after application.

Practical limits of paste-only thermal transfer

Thermal conductance reaches 350000W/m2°C measured at a .001 inch bond line between surfaces. Performance depends on mating surface flatness and mounting pressure that the paste itself cannot correct. Electrical non-conductivity prevents shorts but does not replace proper insulation around exposed PCB components. The 3.5g syringe covers multiple standard CPU applications but may fall short for large cold-plate or direct-die GPU blocks.

Straightforward install with two cleaning steps

Apply ArctiClean 1 to dissolve old compound, then ArctiClean 2 to neutralise and leave a residue-free surface in under a minute. Syringe nozzle allows controlled dispensing of the 3.5g paste onto the heat spreader. Common issues include using too much paste, which reduces conductance, or skipping the ArctiClean 2 step, which leaves cleaner residue that impairs contact. No curing time is required before reassembly.

Questions about this item

Which size of Arctic Silver 5 paste and ArctiClean bottles come in this kit?

The kit includes a 3.5g syringe of Arctic Silver 5 and two 30ml bottles of ArctiClean 1 and 2, totalling 60ml of cleaner.

What does the thermal conductance figure of 350,000 W/m²°C mean for my CPU temperatures?

Measured at a 0.001 inch layer, this conductance indicates very efficient heat transfer from the CPU die to the cooler base, helping lower core temperatures under load.

Is the compound electrically conductive and what standard does it meet?

Arctic Silver 5 is non-electrically conductive, so it will not cause short circuits if it contacts surrounding components on the motherboard.
