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

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 builds. I have used ARCTIC MX-5 thermal compound in two computer builds. In my main computer system with a Fractal Design 360mm AIO (non-RGB version) I'm cooling an AMD 5900X with excellent results. In my home cinema I use ARCTIC MX-5 thermal compound with a powerful Vetroo V5 air cooler. Thanks to the Vetroo V5 air cooler and ARCTIC MX-5 thermal compound, my AMD Ryzen 5 3400G APU maintains temperatures around 30Β°C when idling and rarely exceeds 50Β°C when playing 2160p60 videos at full power (with AMD 3400G APU on) . at top speed). constant clock of 4000 MHz in the Asus BIOS). ARCTIC MX-5 thermal compound has a stickier/tackier consistency than MX4 and is therefore not as easy to apply with a plastic spatula, but according to Arctic MX-5 has a higher density. Based on scientific YouTube test videos, the performance difference between MX-4 and MX-5 thermal compounds appears to be within statistical error. So take your pick because it seems like you can't go wrong with any of these Arctic branded thermal compounds.

Pros
  • Cool
Cons
  • Almost everything is fine
