Pros & Cons

Pros

✓ Fully non-conductive ceramic formula - no short risk if it contacts pins or SMDs
✓ Engineered not to separate, run, migrate, or bleed after mounting
✓ 25 g syringe covers dozens of retro and modern CPU mounts
✓ Tri-linear ceramic filler plus polysynthetic suspension fluid for dense coverage

Cons

✗ Thick, high-viscosity paste is harder to spread than thin liquid-metal rivals
✗ No electrical capacitance means no conductive-grade peak performance
✗ 25 g is far more than a single build needs - excess may dry in storage
✗ Arctic Silver lists no thermal conductivity figure on the spec sheet
