美國ArcticSilver製造AS系列散熱膏的這家公司,
近期內將會推出最新產品-AS5散熱膏~

小弟得到的小道消息...

"
AS5 is the second product in our new generation of high-density thermal compounds and has several significant advantages over our previous silver compounds.

The polysynthetic suspension fluid is improved.
The new mix of non-silicone synthetic oils is more stable than the mix used in Arctic Silver 3. This further enhances the long-term performance of Arctic Silver 5, especially under high-vibration or other difficult conditions.

The average particle size is smaller. (Less than 0.45 microns <0.000018 inch)
The microscopic thermally conductive particles in Arctic Silver 5 fill the voids between the core and the heatsink more completely to provide improved thermal transfer.

The compound is more dense.
The sizes of the individual filler particles are designed so that the smaller particles better fill the interstices between the larger particles than with our previous compounds. While most thermal compounds contain 30% to 50% thermally conductive filler by weight, Arctic Silver 5 contains almost 90% thermally conductive filler by weight.

The application is easier.
Like Ceramique, Arctic Silver 5 is not spread out on the P4 heat spreader. A small dab of AS5 is placed on the center of the heat spreader and the pressure from the heatsink spreads it out to form an air-free minimum bond line.

And most important, the performance is much better.

與之前產品的比較

11月將推出的最新一代產品 -> 將被取代的前代產品
含銀微導電性:AS5 ->AS3
不含銀無導電性:Ceramique ->Arctic Alumina

註:
AS5 & Ceramique都是新一代基於new generation high density配方的東東,
就是用起來會格外的黏啦

所以說AS5應該就是Ceramique再加上含銀的結晶...
效果如何...期待到時候國外的測試囉~
