## Overview

Arctic Silver Ceramique 2 is a premium, high-density thermal compound designed to reduce CPU temperatures by 2 to 10°C under full load. Its non-metallic, electrically insulating formula eliminates risk of shorts, while advanced particle technology prevents separation or migration. Ideal for professional-grade desktops and extreme cooling, it enhances CPU turbo boost performance and ensures long-lasting, stable thermal conductivity.

## Description

An oil mixture, improved thermal filler properties and increased particle deagglomeration, dispersal and density enhance Ceramique 2's thermal performance and overall stability. Ceramique 2 is engineered to not separate, run, migrate or bleed. Ceramique 2 does not contain any metal or other electrically conductive materials. It is a pure electrical insulator, neither electrically conductive nor capacitive.

Review: A thermal paste for ants - This stuff is pretty good. I was surprised by how tiny the tube was, only about 2 inches including the plunger. I had recently ordered some really cheap paste from china, 30g for just two dollars. It was okay for low tdp hardware like my amd athlon II dual core and my geforce 210 in my HTPC, but I recently put some on my gaming computer's cpu. Now, my gaming computer has an Intel Xeon w3690 @ 3.4 GHz with 6 cores and 12 threads, and a tdp of around 180 watts. This thing puts out a lot of heat, with the cheap chinese stuff I was idling at 55 C and under about 60% load playing Fallout 4 I was seeing temps in the mid 70's. I ordered this and it came yesterday, so I cleaned off the cheap stuff, and put some of this on. I did a few stress tests with Prime95 to "burn it in", and let it sit overnight completely off so that everything can set. Today when I turned on my pc I saw my idle temp was 38 C! I am running Prime95 as we speak and my CPU is at 100% load, my temp with the CPU fan ramped up is 71-72 C, so all in all a definite improvement. These temps are completely fine for this chip, don't be concerned, it is quite a bit different than the consumer desktop chips most of us are used to and I am not seeing any thermal throttling while under full load with this temp, it's running at the full boost clock of over 3.5 GHz which is fantastic. I believe these old xeons have max operating tems in the high 90's. The previous temps were within reason, but because of the higher than normal temps my cpu fan was constantly ramping up to 100% and it is very loud, so I basically got this to prevent my fan from always being at max RPM when playing anything. I highly recommend this compound, it works quite good.
Review: Effective, Safe, Simple to Use! - I've used Arctic Silver Ceramique for years because it offered an excellent combination of performance and value, and I was pleasantly surprised that Arctic Silver updated it. In terms of performance, Ceramique 2 seems to be a bit better than the original, though it's still behind the top silver-based thermal interface materials. Absolute thermal performance is not the whole story, however, and where Ceramique really stands out is the fact that it's completely electrically non-conductive and non-capacitive so there's virtually no risk of damaging your stuff by accidentally applying too much, etc. To get the most out of Ceramique 2, you should follow the detailed instructions on the Arctic Silver website. The site recommends different application methods depending on the type of CPU and Heatsink. For example, with Intel Ivy Bridge CPU's you should use the "line method" whereas my Phenom II needs the traditional "spot in the middle" approach. The site also describes how to prepare a CPU and heatsink prior to applying thermal paste to improve effectiveness. I bought this particular tube to upgrade the thermal paste in a laptop. With the introduction of Intel's Turbo Boost and AMD's Turbo Core, improving a laptop's cooling solution can lead to very tangible PERFORMANCE increases since the maximum boost frequency and time spend while under turbo boost is a function of current, power, and temperature. By reducing the overall CPU temperature under load, the boosting algorithms allow either even higher turbo boost speeds (up to the maximum) or longer boost duration (possibly indefinitely). Notes: 1) Thermal paste is secondary to having a clean, flat, and smooth mounting surface and sufficiently high (but not excessive) mounting pressure. Ceramique is better able to deal with higher mounting pressures due to it's higher viscosity. 2) Ceramique 2 is rated down to -150 C, which makes it suitable for use with more extreme forms of cooling such as phase change, dry ice, etc. 3) The 25g Tube is a better value than the 2.7g, though the 2.7g tube is good for ~10-15 applications. This really is a case of your mileage may vary. Ceramique and Ceramique 2 don't really dry out and seem to have a long shelf-life.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Really great for the "normal" computer build.
*by N***E on September 26, 2021*

Non-conductive, good for YEARS after application. I've used it for years on several builds. It doesn't dry out or lose effectiveness and won't short out motherboards. It's been around for a very long time now and I started using it when it had just come out. These days it's inexpensive and "better than" the "brand X" that comes with most new coolers. It lasts for several years (really) in its tube when unused. It doesn't cure or "set up". If I were making many systems I would use this unless the systems were "hot rods". It's really easy to spread/use. It really isn't messy and is easily removed from fingers and surfaces. Nowadays there are possibly better alternatives but the price will be higher. For the average system, this is about as perfect as it gets for the PC builder.
