Arctic Silver Arctic Alumina 5g Premium Ceramic Thermal Cooling Adhesive Set (AATA-5G)

I needed to secure a heatsink to the CPU of my overheating router and this fit the bill perfectly.It's quite simple to use: Just mix equal parts of the material from either tube, spread it onto the surface of the chip thinly and evenly and then press or gently clamp the heatsink onto the chip and let it cure for a few hours.You've got to use your mixture within 5 minutes or else it starts to harden. The leftover mixture solidified about 5 hours after I mixed it, but I gave my work 9 hours to cure before I reassembled and tested the router.I was able to lift the motherboard by just holding onto the heatsink. I shook the assembly a little to test the adhesion and it seems pretty well stuck on there.It's also permanent, so make sure you use the proper heatsink for your application or else you you risk damaging the IC and motherboard if you try to pry the heatsink off after using the epoxy.I'm taking away 1 star because some of the material in the 2nd tube had already started to harden. I don't know if I received old stock or if it was poorly stored, but I had to clean out the hardened material from the syringe with a pin to get it flowing.Small annoyance though. The rest has gone into the fridge for storage and I've got me a cool-running router. It's well worth the $ 5.00 I paid on Amazon.

I really do love this stuff. But make no mistake, you're paying a lot for what is a thermally conductive epoxy. It's a very good thermally conductive epoxy, but is it worth more than its weight in gold? (okay okay gold is $35 a gram today) Maybe. Because we be discerning nerds and demand the best! And this right here, it is definitely among the best in its niche category. I prefer this over it's higher performing cousin that uses silver mostly because I'm rather crude and tend to get this all over the traces/pins of chips that need a heatsink and don't want to bothered with more than a few prep steps.Getting the actual thermal conductivity numbers for this is rather difficult as it is not advertised. And while you can get a lot more thermally conductive epoxy from other vendors, for most hobbyists that need this on occasion this really is the right size to get. These compounds harden over time and typically need to be refrigerated when not used. If all you need to do is affix small heatsinks to small FETs or ICs, this is your ticket. If you're potting whole PCBs and such, look elsewhere.

I guess it works. I just used it on some CREE cxa1304 led's that would, of course, heat up iron hot all alone - then epoxied them to small aluminum bar and heat is conducted very well.What I don't like is that no instructions came with syringes - normally you wouldn't need any BUT I found out after going to Arctics web site that you should not expose unused syringes to fluorescent lighting, natural daylight, uv, etc. etc. nor store at room temp (?). Gee thanks, had them sitting under H.O. fluorescent lights in a warm room for a day. You're supposed to store in the fridge. My advice would be to cover from light even inside fridge. (fridges have very blue-white led's you know and if you're averaging opening a fridge door 6 times a day that adds up to a high exposure over a year for the next project).Because of these criteria and shipping coming from who-knows-where going to who-knows-where taking a week or longer plus sitting in hot delivery trucks and warehouses all day I would recommend finding a direct supplier for mission critical applications.

I used the plain Arctic Alumina at first and wondered why it didn't stick. Arctic Silver should call this product by a different name to differentiate it from plain Arctic Alumina. Even if this product is just Arctic Alumina (Part A) plus glue (Part B). The glue (Part B) has a somewhat epoxy smell like to it, not pleasant. There was some hardening by the cap area, but it was easy enough to squeeze through.I used this to glue a heatsink to my GPU heat sink (by cutting it down first), in my project of converting my ATI 3450 to fan less. It holds so far.Make sure that any time something doesn't work to clean everything (Isopropanol works) and start again rather than trying to reuse thermal compound. I tried to reuse some of the original plain Arctic Alumina I already had applied on the heatsink by applying Part B to the edges, this didn't work. I used clamps and let it sit for 24 hours. I ended up with a lot of excess paste. Make sure to clean up your work area right away since it can dry fast. I only wonder how long Part B will last in the tube.

I had a little project that need to find a product that would permanently bond to my laptop heat sink. There was an old laptop that was sitting around. One day I decided to turn it on and it instantly got extremely hot. I decided to pick up a heat sink from Amazon and this product. Then I took apart my laptop and bonded these two items together. It required mixing the two tubes together to make a tick paste. Luckily, the product came with a mixing tool. Once mixed I applied the paste to the laptop and after a night of setting they couldn't be separated. It thermally conducted the heat in a manner that allowed my CPU and GPU to be room temperature. Before the temperatures were sitting in the high 180F. I couldn't recommend this product enough.Pros: Easy to mix, bonded well.Cons: Had a pungent smell.Other than that though if you need some thermal adhesive pick this product up.

I received the goods not in the original packaging, without displaying the contents and expiration date. The volume of tubes is slightly different.

Tout es parfait pour en ce qui me concerne. Le prix, délai de livraison, description du produit, le suivi de la commande. Je recommande ce vendeur

Good produc but must mix

Excellent transaction. Thank you
