Description of 🧊 ARCTIC MX-5 Thermal Paste (8g, Incl. Spatula) - High-Performance Solution for CPU Coolers: Exceptional Thermal Conductivity, Durability, and Non-Conductive Properties

MULTIPLE VARIANTS: ARCTIC MX-5 is available in sizes ranging from 2 to 50 grams. Resealable packaging prevents the paste from drying out. Incl. 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.

Excellent temperatures for fans and cooling systems

I've been using AS5 in builds for over a decade and finally switched to a newer paste. It is great; My CPU is idle at room temperature and returns to this temperature very quickly after stress testing. Finally I can sleep well knowing that my 10850k probably isn't preparing for load. I'm using a 240mm AIO with this i9 and didn't see any benefit until I switched to a better paste (or maybe I just applied it wrong before). Don't worry about the spatula, though. Place a pea-sized drop in the…

Pros
  • EXCELLENT RESULTS: ARCTIC MX-5 can be applied very thinly. In combination with its high thermal conductivity, this results in a very low thermal resistance.
Cons
  • Only available in black

Simple works best for me.

MX5 is the best performance for my applications. I still have MX4 and Kryonaut from the last build. I was excited to try Kryonaut Extreme as I lost top$ on 5950x and RTX3090 etc etc. I only bought this as a backup, which seemed silly at the time, but I wanted the best possible performance, so $12 just in case. The Kryonaut X and regular Kryonaut were on average 3-5 degrees worse than the MX5. I reinstalled my old computer that I gave to my dad with MX5 (reinstalled Kryonaut) and immediately…

Pros
  • Always liked
Cons
  • Speed

Inside so far so good

First steps. I got this thinking it might be an improvement over the Mx-4. Can't say if this is an improvement though as my thermal paste prior to receipt was very low to say the least as I have very little left. I still feel like it was enough, but enough to do what it was supposed to do. My standby temps on my Ryzen 9 3900x have always fluctuated between 40C and 50CI, which might make for a long, euphonious review, but let's face it, that's what I'm looking for in a review. The first thing I…

Pros
  • Robust construction
Cons
  • Outside

Outstanding processor security thanks to excellent processor cooling - ARCTIC MX-5 (8 grams) - thermal compound

Excellent processor security thanks to excellent processor cooling efficiency - ARCTIC MX-5 (8 grams) - thermal compound - Although the thermal compound on the ARCTIC MX- 5 not spread as easily as the MX-4 version, I'm very happy with the CPU cooling results. I prefer to use a small spatula to apply thermal paste to the surface of the IHS processor rather than risk exposing any part of the processor surface. I've seen great results with ARCTIC MX-5 thermal compound on two different computer…

Pros
  • Cool
Cons
  • Almost everything is fine
