Testing
To test the conductivity of the paste, I ran Stress Prime with a side order of folding@home to make sure that the core was fully used. This was run for 30 minutes from boot and the mean temperature was recorded. The ambient temperature was also recorded. This testing procedure was the same for all of the heatpastes. Each test was repeated three times to ensure accuracy.
Please note: these results should be taken with a grain of salt. The heatpastes performance on one CPU in one PC isn’t the best test possible, although it should give you a rough impression of the performance these products can muster.

As you can see, the Jetart nano diamond heatpaste manages to match Artic Silver 5 even after the AS5 has had a 200+ hour headstart. The nano silver heatpaste doesn’t quite match up to the nano diamond paste, and this difference would probably become more and more noticeable if you had a hotter CPU.
The graph below shows the idle and load temperatures minus ambient temperature to allows comparison.
As you can see, the Jetart nano diamond mixture managed to equal cured Arctic Silver 5 performance in the load test. Unfortunately, when idling, the nano diamond paste wasn’t quite up to the record that AS5 set and lags behind by just over 1 degree. Interestingly, fresh AS5 was the best in the idle test yet worst in the load scenario and caused Stress Prime to crash twice while the CPU was at stock. The heatsink was reseated yet the problem continued.
The nano silver compound managed to be on par with ‘set’ AS5 and did pretty well in the tests. Baring in mind that you can buy one of these multi-application syringes for the meagre price of £2-3 or you could grab a smaller sized AS5 syringe for £3+ it might be an idea to use this stuff rather than A5 – especially due to the free spatula.
I couldn’t find a price for the CK4800 as it’s so new, but I’m sure that the price wouldn’t be that high. If Jetart manage to retail this stuff on par with Arctic Silver 5 then they are on to a winner. It got similar (sometimes better) temperatures than AS5 and it’s instantly conductive.
