Product Description
StarTech.com silver thermal transfer compound improves the effectiveness of CPU coolers by thermally bonding the CPU to the heatsink. StarTech.com chose this substance to put into the heat-grease because silver is one of the best conductors of heat known. This ensures that the heatsink and fan can work at their full capacity to remove the harmful heat away from the CPU, and prevent burnout or heat damage. Silver grease is twice as effective as standard silicon-based heat-grease.

 It works well December 24, 2008
Ivan A. Gamboa Fuentes
Just make sure you make a good aplication of this product on the CPU. On youtube you can find tutorials for doing this, I like to use the line method, that is, to put silver grease as it was a grain of rice, a line of 6 milimiter long by 2 mm thick in the center of CPU, thats all you need. Putting on the heatsink will handle the grease spread. Using this method I got my intel e8400 core 2 duo working at 48 C/118 F. Nothing else to say.
It's okay for the price August 15, 2008
Y. Li (Raleigh, NC USA)
For the price it's pretty decent. Does what it does nicely. Bought it for a cheap socket 775 sink and 3.33Ghz Celeron D processor. Temp. at cold start is around 35C, while under load it's about 40~50C. It should keep your low end CPU nice and cool.
The tube is surprisingly small, smaller than your little finger, so that's 1.5g for ya. For this tiny thing, the shipping fee is just outrageous. It's probably best you buy one from your local hardware retail store, save the shipping fee.
Works great June 28, 2008

I had build an AMD FX62 system, about a year ago for my son, with an CPU over heat problem. It's a fast machine, and the problem does not happen often, but if I ran applications that were using 100% CPU for more than 10 minutes: the CPU would overheat and shut down the computer. I bought the product from Amazon and then I had a week of 'I am using the computer dad, you can't have it'. So I forgot about it. Last week came a desperate plea, my computer is shutting down all the time. It seems he had acquired some malware that was ramping-up the CPU to 100% all the time. Suddenly dad was important again!
I took the heatsink from the CPU off, took off the old thermal grease and replaced it with Silver Grease and I have not had any problems with over-heating since. I highly recommend this product.

 Spend more, get Arctic Silver... March 7, 2008
Pavan Battar (Port Orange, FL)
This stuff is only 25% silver, and while it does an ok job, I'm getting nearly 8 degrees centigrade lower readings with Arctic Silver 5. On something as sensitive as your computer, it's more than worth the extra few dollars (and lack of Amazon Prime) for AS 5.
