Su OCWorkbench a questo indirizzo sono state pubblicate le prime informazioni sulla nuova Arctic Silver III, pasta all'argento molto famosa fra gli overclockers.

Arctic Silver 3 does not contain any silicone. The suspension fluid is a proprietary mixture of advanced polysynthetic oils that work together to provide three distinctive functional phases. As it comes from the tube, Arctic Silver 3's consistency is engineered for easy application in a thin even layer. During the CPU's initial use, the compound thins out to enhance the filling of the microscopic valleys and insure the best physical contact between the heatsink and the CPU core. Then the compound thickens slightly over the next 50 to 200 hours of use to its final consistency designed for long-term stability.

Arctic Silver 3 uses three unique shapes and sizes of 99.9% pure silver particles to maximize particle-to-particle contact area and thermal transfer. This exclusive combination gives the compound a distinctive silver-green color as each type of particle reflects light differently. Arctic Silver 3 also contains a small percentage of micronized boron nitride. The boron nitride ceramic particles enhance the compound's flow characteristics and long-term stability.
