Product Description
*Arctic Silver 5 With its unique high-density filling of micronized silver and enhanced thermally conductive ceramic particles is optimized for use between modern high-power CPUs and high performance heatsinks or water-cooling solutions. *ArctiClean is a two-step cleaning process that removes existing thermal grease or pads and prepares the thermal surface for a fresh application of thermal interface material. ArctiClean 1 Thermal Material Remover quickly emulsifies and dissolves the existing thermal grease or pad from the CPU and/or heatsink so that it can easily be removed with a clean cloth or paper towel. A few drops of ArctiClean 2 Thermal Surface Purifier and some gentle wiping then removes the remaining residue and inhibits flash corrosion on copper or aluminum.

Now for the actual review. This kit comes with three items. First off is ArcticClean #1. This is an emulsifier that cleans off any residue, grease, fingerprints etc. on your chips surface. Any leftover residue from a past heatsink or finger grease from someone admiring a new eight core AMD etc. will act as an insulator between your heat sink and CPU chip. Think of soap for your chip. You'll notice it shines brighter once used on even a new chip. Its very easy to use, just squeeze a few drops onto the surface of your chip. You can tip it around a little to make sure the entire surface gets covered. It spreads out pretty nicely on its own though. Coffee filters (lint free) are perfect for cleaning up the residue. They are also common and cheap enough so that you can use a few on your clean up and not miss them. I'd use a different filter or at least section of the filter each time you clean your chip. I use the #1 cleaner twice after removing the stock AMD fan on my FX8350.
Once you have daubed off all the emulsified junk you will want to use the ArcticClean #2. I believe this is likely just purified water or something along those lines. Just like after a shower you want to rinse the soap off. That is what the second bottle is used for. Just as before squeeze out a few drops. Even more than before you may want to do two applications of the #2. This will insure any of the cleaner doesn't get left behind when you apply new thermal compound.
For the last part the contact surface of the 212 EVO looked rough. I didn't touch it or anything as I didn't want fingerprints, cat hairs etc on it. The cooler comes with a small piece of plastic tape over the contact area. I applied a drop of ArcticSilver 5 and worked it around with the angled edge of a plastic credit card (which I had cleaned just for this purpose). I then scraped off the excess and ran a lint free lens cloth (as an amateur photographer I have lots of these around and they are cheap) over the surface to leave a fine glaze of As5. This is recommended to fill in any little scratches & valleys & such. I was surprised how little was left behind so it must mean the surface of the cooler is smoother than it looks.
After attaching the 212 EVO I was surprised how cool things ran! The chip stayed a LOT cooler off the bat (around 20°F). The instructions say that after a hundred hours and several hot cold thermal cycles that it will perform its job even better. I'm happy already!

I am no boffin but my CPU and GPU tend to run 5 degrees cooler without load and they don't raise to far whilst stressed. The fans also throttle around 1200-1600 instead of the 3000 I was getting before application.
This stuff is great, the remover, purifier and paste all compliment each other and a little patience gets a good job done.
If the little review helps please plus one, also further more in depth reading can be done via other websites.
