ARCTIC MX-5 HIGHEST PERFORMANCE THERMAL COMPOUND (20g)

About this item

Highest Thermal Conductivity

The surfaces of processor chips and cooler floors are covered with microscopic dents; ARCTIC‘s MX-5 thermal paste is composed of carbon microparticles which fill these cavities. This leads to high thermal conductivity, guaranteeing that heat is dissipated efficiently from the CPUs, GPUs or power semiconductor components.

Safe Application

In contrast to pastes based on metal oxides or liquid metal, ARCTIC MX-5 is neither electrically conductive nor capacitive. This eliminates the risk of short circuits and discharges, plus you don't have to worry about corrosion damage to the cooler base caused by liquid metal.

Easy Application

Thanks to its consistency, MX-5 is easy to apply, even for beginners. The video above demonstrates different application techniques to avoid air pockets between processors and coolers.
