MX 5 2 g

Product Information

If the item comes direct from a manufacturer, it may be delivered in non-retail packaging, such as a plain or unprinted box or plastic bag. There are two cutouts on the overleaf which would give a visual indication of the available quantity of the thermal paste in the tube.

Similar to the MX-4, the MX-5 also consists of carbon microparticles that fill the microscopic gap between the two surfaces i. With a passion for all things tech, Nauman has been an essential part of the Enos Tech team now for a number of years.To be honest, I have never had thermal paste go bad, not to mention most enthusiast do not use their computer for that long.

However, it is not only a choice between light (P12 Max White) and dark (P12 Max Black), but also between different types of bearings, fluid dynamic and ball ones. In the world of thermal management solutions, Arctic’s MX-4, MX-5, and MX-6 thermal compounds stand out as key contenders, each offering a unique blend of attributes to cater to diverse computing needs.

That means for air cooling, to cope with increasing temperature in the heatsink you need to move the air across it faster. The MX-5 paste cools my cpu a few degrees better, while being easier to spread and having better consistency. Arctic's MX-5 did not replace the MX-4 and the two pastes continued to co-exist up until recently, even though the new one often performed better than its predecessor. Other than that as far as I am aware everything is working hunky dory and I've had my pc running for a couple of months now since I used it :) I'm happy with it and I would think most normal users would be too. Thermal compounds also help in achieving uniform pressure distribution between the CPU/GPU and the heatsink.
