MX 5 4 g

Product Information

The medium pack with 4 g of paste will also be available with a set of five cleaning wipes for an extra charge of about 1.

These fans are designed to enhance airflow within a computer case, which is crucial for maintaining optimal temperatures. There is no risk for already applied thermal paste, as this concerns the application of the thermal paste. Sometimes you will get significantly less improvement than you would expect, other times you may even be worse off.

Properly applied thermal compounds can contribute to maintaining lower operating temperatures for CPUs and GPUs. According to Arctic's statement, there are faulty batches of MX-5 thermal compound that made it out of production.

I have tried repasting several time, cleaning using lint free paper and solvent so made no difference and gave up entirely on thermal grizzly. The MX-6 thermal paste will round out Arctic’s lineup and is actually a replacement for the MX-5, which is now officially listed as a discontinued product.I actually have been busy with other things but yes i have noticed the issues when i took apart system.

The temperature difference between the CPU IHS and the cooler base is determined with a laboratory device. In the world of thermal management solutions, Arctic’s MX-4, MX-5, and MX-6 thermal compounds stand out as key contenders, each offering a unique blend of attributes to cater to diverse computing needs.

The retail box design for the ARCTIC MX-5 is consistent with the ARCTIC Freezer A13 X we reviewed last year. This ensures consistent performance over time and reduces the risk of the thermal paste “pumping out” from between the CPU/GPU and heatsink due to heat cycling. I think it's slightly runnier than some compounds I've used but I dunno if that's difference between an mx-4 to mx-5, or just a difference in brand, but its nothing bad, if anything its easier to spread. Among the notable contenders in this realm are Arctic’s thermal paste offerings: MX-4, MX-5, and MX-6. This means that at equal noise levels, you will achieve lower cooling performance, and it doesn’t really matter what fan you use.
