Excellent Thermal Conductivity
The surfaces of processor chips and cooler floors are covered with microscopic dents; ARCTIC‘s MX-2 thermal paste is composed of carbon microparticles which fill these cavities. This creates a surface conducive to extremely high thermal conductivity, guaranteeing fast and efficient heat transfer from the CPU or GPU to the cooler. With its outstanding performance, MX-2 is one of the top thermal pastes on the market.
Easy Application
Easy Application
The consistency of the MX-2 allows even beginners to apply it easily. We show in the video which application options are suitable for avoiding air pockets.
Long-lasting Durability
When it comes to durability, MX-2 is uncompromising - unlike metal or silicone paste. When applied properly, it has a shelf life of up to eight years.
Incredible Value, Unbeatable Price
Thanks to its excellent price / performance ratio, the MX-2 knows how to convince many gamers and system integrators.
Available in Various Sizes
ARCTIC MX-2 comes in tubes ranging from 2 to 65 g. Resealable packaging prevents the paste from drying out.
Proven quality
While the packaging of our thermal paste has changed several times over the years, the composition of the formula has remained the same. Our MX pastes have long stood for high performance and quality, and with our new, recyclable packaging, we aim to reduce CO2 emissions and thus make a contribution to the environment.
Since the mere thermal conductivity value cannot provide any information about the actual performance, we put our thermal grease up against a broad field of competitors under laboratory conditions. The temperature difference between CPU and cooler base was measured.
How is it tested?
The temperature difference between the CPU IHS and the cooler base is determined with a laboratory device. This allows precise adjustment of the power and contact pressure to be transmitted and highly accurate temperature measurement. The contact surfaces are milled flat with very fine grooves, which corresponds to high-quality CPU coolers.
transmitted power: 150 Watt( ≈ AMD Ryzen 7 3700X All-Core-Boost)
Contact area: 16,0625 cm2 [according to an AM4 CPU]
Contact force: 562.5 N (≙57.359 kgf or lb)
Why are CPUs only conditionally suitable for measuring the performance of thermal paste?
Why are the stated thermal conductivity values of a paste not meaningful?
