For the fanatics that are wondering how this compares to MX-4, Thermal Grizzly, etc, here is a decent comparison that ranks this performs quite well (and not accounting for this lower price):
Electrically Conductive: No
Thermal Conductivity: 9 W/mk

Since it is sold directly by Arctic, and they announced all prior product was recalled in mid January, I'm betting this is new product. It even has a delayed delivery window from March 4 to March 24.

EXTRA THIN BONDLINE: Perfect filling of micro-pores leads to lower thermal resistance - and may lead to stronger adhesion. Please refer to uninstallation video 'How to Properly Remove a CPU Cooler'
MULTIPLE VARIANTS: ARCTIC MX-5 is available in sizes ranging from 2 to 50 grams. Resealable packaging prevents the paste from drying out. Alternatively available with spatula
SAFE TO USE: ARCTIC MX-5 is completely metal-free, eliminating the risk of short circuits, discharges and corrosion damage to the radiator bottom
EASY APPLICATION: Thanks to its viscosity, MX-5 is easy to apply. It spreads evenly and allows for a very thin layer regardless of the application method used
VERSATILE USES: Can be used on CPUs, GPUs and power semiconductor components. Thanks to its excellent properties, the ARCTIC MX-5 can be used in many scenarios without hesitation
EXCELLENT RESULTS: ARCTIC MX-5 can be applied in a particularly thin layer. In combination with its high thermal conductivity, this results in very low thermal resistance

Does this have expiry date
Btw, I do see that Tom's Hardware tested this particular thermal paste [tomshardware.com] and ranked it quite highly -- #4 overall. ProlimaTech PK-3 was rate the overall best for those that care.
