Description of 🔥 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

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.

I don't know why it exists but it works

So the name. I looked at the transmission efficiency of the VS MX-4 and they are the same. However, the price is the same, which is why I decided to upgrade to a newer product. Maybe Arctic found a cheaper formula for the same performance, I don't know. I'm no expert but I can take temps and my 5800x with a 140mm dual fan air cooler stays below 80 so I'm happy.

Pros
  • Everything is fine!
Cons
  • Definitely a bad product

It should be good - offal

I'm no chemist but given the number of people who have bought it I know all I need to know - it works. This is a must when installing the processor. I reapply thermal paste almost every year just to be on the safe side. It's easy, inexpensive, takes very little time, and is worth your peace of mind - especially in a decent gaming or media-heavy setup.

Pros
  • New
Cons
  • So So

Bad for GPU: Computer components

Recently changed thermal paste on GTX 1660s Max temp 64c when playing on mx4 With mx5 I get 72c same settings Maybe it's just a bad batch or not designed for gpu update that I applied the thermal paste that came with my Mugen 5 as a backup. Gaming temperatures are around 59-60C. People may have different results, but for me the mx5 is a step backwards from the mx4, at least as far as the GPU is concerned.

Pros
  • Satisfied so far
Cons
  • Everything is fine

Great for painting the GPU and CPU IHS

It cools down a few degrees when I change the thermal paste on my GTX 1060 that I will be using for the build. Also, I had a Dell Optiplex and I replaced the thermal paste on my CPU's built-in heat spreader. I use it to replace thermal paste and get rid of dry paste that has been around for years. Another thing is that I use it when I build from scratch. I recommend this for PC builders and PC hobbyists.

Pros
  • One year trial
Cons
  • Not the best

It's good! Best Thermal Compound and Gaskets

This paste gets the job done. I used this on an old RX580 and immediately saw the standby temp dropped from 55 to 35 degrees, max GPU temp dropped about 5 degrees. I'm also getting good results with my new 5600x, but I think that's mainly due to the quality heatsink. With today's technology, the difference between brands of thermal paste is negligible; it almost comes down to having thermal paste or not at all, because there really isn't much more to improve. A good product. highlighted.

Pros
  • Quality Construction
Cons
  • Upgradeable

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…

Pros
  • great product
Cons
  • something different

6 degrees drop in standby mode compared to stock AIO paste

I just built a new computer (first new computer in 8 years) and a friend helped me with this. He suggested that I replace the thin layer of bearing paste that was on the NZXT Kraken X63. I really didn't think it was worth the trouble but I decided to follow his advice. At the time, Arctic Silver 5 was trendy. And after some searching I found this Arctic MX-5 product and went for it. Lo and behold after cleaning all the stem paste with alcohol and coffee filters and reinstalling the AIO cooler…

Pros
  • Great for me
Cons
  • No instructions
