I have heard so many things about Artic Silver II, so I just had to try it out myself. Arctic Silver II is one of the best, if not the best thermal compound solution out on the market today. Arctic Silver II contains pure micronized silver. Meaning, little itty bits of super fine silver. Today we will test the Artic Silver II against another type of compound and see how they perform.
