User questions & answers

Question:	Does this paste hold the heat sink on its own on a Blackberrys Pi device? How much time does it take to cure to hold the heat sink like a glue
Answer:	This isn't a thermal glue so it wont hold well after it dries. Pi devices usually don't produce enough heat to need more than a little air flow. Are you sure you need a heat sink? Check out Arctic Alumina Thermal Adhesive. That will work better than this for adhesion.
Question:	How long will thermal compound paste last for a computer repair technician? will it finish fast? as the tube looks so small
Answer:	The tube may look small, but considering the amount you need, you could easily cover more than a couple dozen CPUs (depending on the size of your CPU, of course)! You only need to apply very, very little and then spread the paste evenly. I noticed that a pea-sized blob of paste may already be too much because a lot of the material sticks to the tool! I do not recommend the method where you put a blob in the middle of the CPU and then apply the heat sink on top of it hoping that the paste would spread out on its own: a) the paste may not spread evenly and therefore might create hot spots; b) you may waste material which would only run beyond the borders of the CPU. The manufacturer claims an 8-year durability. I can't comment about that since I haven't used it that long.
Question:	Roughly how many applications will you get out of one tube
Answer:	I still have more than half of a 4g tube left, 4 years after I bought it - it has an eight year shelf life, IIRC... I haven't kept track for certain, but I think I've done at least 5 applications or more and still have half a tube left. Crazy thing is right now, for $1 less, you can buy the 8g tube from Amazon directly rather than the 4g tube from the other seller - seems a no brainer. Great stuff.
Question:	is it rgb
Answer:	If you drop acid before you apply it... Yes!

User questions & answers

Question:	will this work for adding a heat sink to a 18v 550 dc motor
Answer:	Should work just fine.
Question:	How many coffee lake cpu applications is the 4g enough for? i will be doing the "one spot" method as recommended
Answer:	I did two and have some left in tube - not sure how much.
Question:	How does this one (current edition?) for 8.99? Compare to the one a few dollars more expensive
Answer:	I've never done a true comparison but I believe the more expensive paste does a slightly better job at transferring heat for the extreme overclocking crowd. It might also resist caking and drying at higher temperatures like those found in extreme OC builds. I can't say for sure any of this is true, not having done the tests for myself, but this logic seems to be the general consensus among PC builders.

• Thermal conductivity of more than 1.066 W/m-K

User questions & answers

Question:	Which thermal paste should be used for high temp. (coffee maker) use
Answer:	The Velcro melted to the fabric and busted open on the first time heating it. My microwave is only 700 watts and I heated as instructed. 120 secs initially. Took it out and checked it for warmth. Put it back in for another 30 secs. It melted after that. Completely ruined. Not worth it even if it is "only $20". It's just a waste of $20.
Question:	What is the composition
Answer:	Label says Made in China. Didn’t even think about this when I was looking for something for this product. I spent days looking. It had been a long search. I had to try something.
Question:	Will this work on wood stove heat fan
Answer:	No. 110.
Question:	will this work on my 'ozone machine' ===ozone plate connection

User questions & answers

Question:	does this work with playstation 4 console
Answer:	I think i would have noticed anything obnoxious, and I am sensitive to strong odors. Using it a year now there certainly isnt--just checked.
Question:	It´d work for my laptop noisy fan cooler
Answer:	I keep medication in the bag with an extra ice pack. It was cold for well over 8 hours.
Question:	I know this good for ps4 but can pad be good too and what size
Answer:	I wash mine by hand in cold water with Dawn dish soap and let it air dry. I take my in a kayak three times a week, so it can handle getting soaked a lot.
Question:	How many grams needed for I
Answer:	I ordered a set of two of the Xtra small ones. Was great for a lunch for a couple. My girlfriend and I took them on a hike. We fit a hoagie sandwich, carrots, sliced cucumbers, chips, a pudding cup, a 2 pack of Oreos, a spoon, and a small ice pack in each of them just fine. So, for a lunch, it's perfect. If you're trying to for water bottles, and Tupperware containers, and a bunch of crap in it, don't get it. But for a lunch or snacks, it's perfect. :). As far as actual size, I'd say a foot long (maybe foot and a half) long, by about 8 inches wide, and 5 or 6 inches tall. Hope this helps.

Arctic Silver Thermal Cooling Compound Paste 3.5g High-Density Polysynthetic Silver

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. As it comes from the syringe, Arctic Silver 5's consistency is engineered for easy application. During the CPU's initial use, the compound thins out to enhance the filling of the microscopic valleys and ensure the best physical contact between the heatsink and the CPU core. Then the compound thickens slightly over the next 50 to 200 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.)
