MX 5 2 g

Product Information

It has excellent non-drying and non-bleeding properties, which ensures consistent performance over time. I had the same thought as you (That they've fixed it), and was looking for one, went to their site and couldn't find MX-5.

As we advance into an era of ever-more demanding computing tasks, the right thermal paste can contribute significantly to maintaining system stability, extending hardware lifespan, and unlocking the full potential of modern processors. Among the notable contenders in this realm are Arctic’s thermal paste offerings: MX-4, MX-5, and MX-6. Even if some did, chances are that the cooler will be removed at some point, which would have required a thermal paste reapplication anyway. I have stopped using TG kryonaut, it works great at first but performance quickly degrades, its ok if your repasting every 4 weeks but for set it and forget it, I'm currently using syy 157 really good performance that doesn't drop off with time.Similar to the MX-4, the MX-5 also consists of carbon microparticles that fill the microscopic gap between the two surfaces i. It can cause corrosion, it is hard to apply, it can short out your other parts due to its conductive nature, and it will need to be re-applied much more often do to not having as long of a lifespan. It is also suitable for direct-die cooling scenarios, which are often used with graphics cards or console processor GPUs. Overall, the opinions are mixed, and it'd be best to read the reviews carefully before making a purchase.

As a company, the careful use of energy and environmental resources is something we take very seriously.

MX-6 offers the highest thermal conductivity, improved durability over MX-5, and features to prevent leakage, making it the superior choice among the three. We are known worldwide for our high-performance air and water coolers as well for our thermal pastes. This could well be due to many factors like mounting pressure, thermal paste application, varying ambient temperature.

The MX-4 thermal compound comes in a syringe-like package in a variety of sizes, from 2 grams to 45 grams.While MX-5 faced issues and was discontinued, MX-6 emerged as the improved successor to MX-4, offering better thermal performance, non-conductivity, and compatibility with various applications. Emerging from this, the MX-6 claims the spotlight with superior thermal conductivity, reduced resistance, and a focus on addressing concerns like durability and leakage. 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. It does not contain any expensive or precious metal particles, and it reaches its maximum performance immediately after application.

You can use the spatula to evenly spread the paste or simply use a blob method for even spreading coming from the mounting pressure. This results in extremely high thermal conductivity, which quickly and efficiently dissipates heat from the CPU or GPU. In the summer, this would make my room even more hot so i thought why not try either the MX-5 or stick with good old Noctua NT-H2.Room temp between the grizzly and mx4 test has been 24-28c, the MX-5 still performed the same at a room temp of 30c during the heatwave! Answer: Yes, Arctic MX-6 is non-conductive and non-capacitive, ensuring it is safe for use on electronic components. This allows precise adjustment of the power and contact pressure to be transmitted and highly accurate temperature measurement. Even with trying to lean the heatsink over to remove it, it still ripped my 5600X out of the socket. Given these factors, if you are choosing between MX-4, MX-5, and MX-6, MX-6 is the preferable option due to its better thermal performance, improved durability, and features designed to address common thermal paste concerns.
