Yeah, I have it on my i7 3770K. Also used it on the PS3 once as well. It got a lot of stick for the scratches that it supposedly caused when cleaning it off.

I remember back then nearly everyone praised Arctic Silver, then it became fashionable to diss it because of the conductivity. Unless you're an utter klutz, it'll never be an issue.
I think I still have an Arctic Silver 3 tube from the Athlon XP days. I remember trying 3 and 5 at times on the PS3. It was great.

I re-paste when the temps go up.
Not sure why anyone would want to replace it. Its a conductor so as long as its tight between the cpu and the cooler, it should still conduct.
These things are tested when they are developed, far beyond regular use. As the saying goes, "if it aint broken then don't fix it".
