Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

With all the demands that the latest applications and operating systems place on computer systems, today's higher-speed CPUs run much hotter than their predecessors, which threatens their performance and durability as well as your whole system's reliability. The Antec 761345-77063-7 Silver Thermal Compound helps keep your system cool by providing essential cooling protection. While fans can help significantly lower your CPU temperature, the contact area between your CPU core and the heat sink is often not optimal, and therefore the cooling effect is limited. The Antec 761345-77063-7 is a superior interface material that is made of 99 percent pure micronized silver, and is 75 to 80 percent silver content by weight. Silver's superior thermal conductivity and resistance will help lower your CPU temperature by as much as 10 degrees Celsius -- a difference that could significantly add to the efficiency and overall life of your system.

Transfers heat from computer processor to heatsink more efficiently / 75% to 80% silver content / Loaded in a plastic syringe

This review is from: Antec 761345-77063-7 Silver Thermal Compound (Personal Computers)

I recently had my PS3 experience the yellow light of death and being a computer guy looked up some quick info on the cause and realized I needed thermal compound. I was a little strapped for cash so I went down to radio shack and grabbed some of their cheaper compound hoping I could at least temporarily solve the issue and get back to playing. Well it lasted about 2 days before I had the same problem. So I saved up a few more bucks and ordered this compound knowing that silver has a higher conductance and is better for heat sink installation. I was not disappointed when I put this on although I had to use the whole tube because the PS3 has a CPU and a GPU that both need the compound. Long story short, I got the old compound cleaned off and put this new compound on and the PS3 has been running like a champ since.

SO, to anyone that needs thermal compound I highly recommend you get this and not the cheaper silicon based competitor. It's a difference of a few bucks but it makes a HUGE difference in the performance of your CPU!

This stuff is Antec's Formula 5 STC (Silver Thermal Compound), and the part number accurately reflects this. Another reviewer said he was expecting Antec Formula 7, which is based on diamond dust.

The two mildly annoying things about this product are 1) the tiny amount of actual product received, which is maybe a third of the volume of the syringe it is supplied in, and 2) the comparatively huge clamshell package used to encase the syringe. C'mon Antec, in this day and age you can do better than that - it's a waste of raw materials and energy. I'm docking one star just for that.

The product itself? Seems to work just fine. Antec say it is 88% (by weight) micronized silver, which is a near ideal thermal transfer medium. Hope it doesn't dry out - if it does, I'll try to remember to update this review.

Normally if you're going to install a new heatsink, you wouldn't want to use the thermal compounds that would come with it.
Antec Silver thermal compound is made for the cpu and heatsink to conduct the heat better allowing the cpu to run at cooler temperature when it's taking a lot of stress.
Definitely works well, and you don't really need to use the entire thing for one CPU so you could save some for later.
