Hi! Sorry, my english is bad.

I'm from venezuela and i will go to US tomorrow. I will buying a new video card and a 212 Evo cooler. Also, i will buy some Artic Cleaner and Artic silver thermalpaste.

Hi Gabriel V
Yes you can take it on the plane , take it in your hand luggage , just don't mix it up with your toothpaste or you could end up looking like Jaws from James bond lol

I would imagine so. It's in small quantities, cannot catch fire, and is generally not particularly toxic.

Personally I would go with Artic MX-4 over Artic Silver 5 as it is a better thermal compound.

Make sure you keep the thermal compound in the packaging it comes in, and you shouldn't have any problems.
