Review on πŸ”₯ ARCTIC MX-5 (4g) - Ultimate Performance Thermal Paste with Spatula, Ideal for All CPU Coolers, High Thermal Conductivity, Low Thermal Resistance, Long-lasting Durability, Metal-Free, Non-Conductive by Mark Sutovsky

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Very good, a little thicker than some others

good pasta, very satisfied. It's a bit thicker than the MX4, so for the first time in my PC building career I used a putty knife and smoothed it out. Works great with Fuma 2. Not that color matters, but it's nice to see a light blue ink compared to all the gray tones. As some other reviewers have pointed out, this is probably very good for direct cooling of chips like GPUs and laptops. There is probably less than 1C difference between this paste and a dozen other branded charcoal pastes, but the MX-2 and MX-4 have always served me well so I will continue to use them.

Pros
  • great product
Cons
  • something different
