High-density ceramic thermal compound
Arctic Silver Ceramique2 is a ceramic-based thermal paste designed for modern high-power CPUs and performance heatsinks or water-cooling solutions. The compound contains no metal particles, so it is neither electrically conductive nor capacitive. A 2.7 gram syringe provides enough material for multiple applications.
Sub-micron particle size for thin bond lines
The average particle size is 0.36 microns, with 70 particles lined up equalling one-thousandth of an inch. This tri-linear composite of aluminium oxide, zinc oxide and boron nitride enables the thinnest possible bond line between processor and cooler. One tube covers approximately 22 square inches at a 0.003 inch layer thickness.
Wide temperature range for sustained loads
Peak temperature tolerance reaches 150 °C to above 185 °C, while long-term stability is rated from 150 °C down to 130 °C. The high-density ceramic formula maintains consistent thermal transfer without drying out or degrading under continuous high-heat operation. No electrical conductivity eliminates short-circuit risk if paste spreads beyond the die.

Questions about this item
What does the 0.36-micron particle size mean once the paste is on a CPU?
The ultra-fine particles let the compound form an extremely thin bond line, filling microscopic gaps between the processor lid and cooler base for more efficient heat transfer.
What interface or standard governs how this compound performs, and what does it cap in practice?
There is no industry standard for thermal paste; the practical limit is the 150 °C long-term and 185 °C peak temperature rating beyond which the compound may degrade.
What does the 2.7 g syringe need to fit or mount on a typical build?
The syringe dispenses directly onto the CPU heat spreader; one tube covers roughly 22 square inches at a 0.003-inch layer, enough for multiple desktop processor applications.
