Arctic Silver Arctic Alumina Thermal Adhesive 5 Gram 3.5cc RoHS Compliant Two Tube Set with Mixing Wand

I use this adhesive to attach thermal couples to stuff. It is pretty strong and easy to work with. Once mixed it behaves like a paste. It does seem to be thermally conductive with a high specific heat. The paste itself is not conductive. It is quite permanent so only use for permanent applications.

Very good product actualy...I used it attach an arctic accelero twin II on gtx 570 , memory heatsinks and VRM area.They attach better than Phobya products, and they can come off pretty easy if the GPU is still fairly warm and a screw driver forcing on it like lever.Unforantley , its not as hard of glue and they advertise , two memory chips fell off when my case was banged. Better than Phobya and included g1 thermal glue that came with cooler tho...Give it atlease 12 hours for curring,SMELLS HORRIBLE!!!

I was shopping for Arctic Silver for a jewelry repair. I'd used it in the past and the real Arctic Silver works great and dries the color of grey silver (although matte looking). I bought this thinking it was the same, but be careful. This is the Alumina version, and it's different. It's white and does not work well for jewelry repair. Look the the original Arctic Silver if you want to use it for jewelry repair.

Love the product I have purchased many little tubes of this for odd projects,. I would call it semi-permanent,. While it should be considered permanent, I have never failed to be able to force the epoxy to break its bond if needed,. I can also confirm that this stuff is 100% insulator and not conductive even in the slightest. On a negative note,. The factory has a tendency of short filling the A tube of the A & B epoxy mix,. A&B are supposed to be mixed 1:1 so both tubes should be equal but there not, by quite a bit. So you will often be left with unusable B which is the only reason I take 1 star away from this product. (the sticker conceals fill level but if you look under the sticker prior to opening you'll see what I mean) Even with that often repeated packaging error I still love this stuff for what it does. Also be warned cure/hardening time is extremely fast,. 5min from the time you mix. So have everything clean and ready,. Before opening the tubes,.

I am currently replacing a $200 CPU because the $30 fan w/ heatsink went bad. I could have just replaced the fan, yes, but I had no idea the bond was pernament! So the CPU came out with the fan, a bent pin or two, and unable to insert it without damaging the motherboard. Wish I read the warning. It works REALLY well I just did not use it for the proper application, lolFrom the manufacturer's manual:"Arctic Alumina Thermal Adhesive IS NOT intended for use on a CPU. Only if your attachment mechanism is broke and you understand it will permanently glue your heatsink to your chip should you attempt doing it. If not then, ONLY use Arctic Silver Thermal Compound/grease on a CPU"[...]

Great for assembling high power LED flashlights or other projects. High heat conductivity combined with electrically neutral adhesive (both non conductive and non capacitive). Use a thin even base coat (.001-.002" thick for best heat conductivity) on one surface to separate electrically positive LED body (like a P-7) from electrically negative metallic heat sink. Allow electrical insulating base coat to dry then use a second application as adhesive to form a permanent high heat conductive attachment of the LED. Clean / degrease parts well before use. Scratch or slightly roughen metallic surfaces to improve physical bond of adhesive. One set is of sufficient quantity for many jobs. Easy to work with. Some shaping of adhesive during cure time is possible. Do not use where parts may need dissassembly later.Best combined cost + shipping price at the time purchased.

Don't know if product was stored properly before sale, or if it was past expiration. Mixed properly and applied, but it never cured. Still tacky and not hard, dents easily with fingernail, after a month!

OK Its Artic Silver this means its Good - not as wonderful as the actual "Silver" thermal epoxy it uses Aluminum Oxide for thermal conductivity and does a good job at it the best part "Its Non Conductive" - No Shorts or sparks - This is what I use for all small heat sinks - recommended..
