Thermal Paste Compound Arctic Cooling MX-5 ( high performance paste ) 

Arctic Cooling MX-5 4g Premium Thermal Compound for CPU, GPU, High Thermal Conductivity, Low Thermal ResistanceARCTIC MX-4 High-Viscosity Thermal Compound has the distinctive characteristics of being non-capacitive, non-electricity-conductive, non-corrosive and non-bleeding. This makes ARCTIC MX-5 much safer and easier to use around sensitive and delicate applications involving electricity and heat than metal-based thermal compound. Perfectly safe for use around today's high-performance microprocessors (CPU) and graphic processors (GPU), accidental contacts with electrical pins/traces/leads will NOT cause short-circuits or static shocks compare to metal-based/capacitive thermal compounds. Under normal circumstances, carbon has the highest thermal conductivities of all know materials. ARCTIC MX-4's carbon micro-particles effectively and efficiently fill up microscopic pores and gaps between contact surfaces for optimum heat transfer. High thermal conductivity and low thermal resistance translate directly into efficient and quick heat dissipation.

• Better than Liquid Metal: The ARCTIC MX-5 compound is composed of carbon micro-particles which lead to an extremely high thermal conductivity. It guarantees that heat generated from the CPU or GPU is dissipated quickly and efficiently. Superb in performance, MX-5 is the best companion for overclockers and enthusiasts.
• Easy to Apply: With an ideal consistency, the MX-5 thermal compound is very easy to use. even for beginners.
• High Durability: In contrast to metal and silicon thermal compound, the performance of MX-5 does not compromise over time. Once applied, you do not need to apply it a second time as it will last at least for 8 years.
• Value for Money: A high-performance thermal compound perfect for system builders, there's no surprise that the MX-5 exceeds your expectations for its low price tag.

HIGHEST THERMAL CONDUCTIVITY

The surfaces of processor chips and cooler floors are covered with microscopic dents; ARCTIC‘s MX-5 thermal paste is composed of carbon microparticles that fill these cavities. This leads to high thermal conductivity, guaranteeing that heat is dissipated efficiently from the CPUs, GPUs or power semiconductor components.

SAFE APPLICATION

In contrast to pastes based on metal oxides or liquid metal, ARCTIC MX-5 is neither electrically conductive nor capacitive. This eliminates the risk of short circuits and discharges, plus you don't have to worry about corrosion damage to the cooler base caused by liquid metal.

THERMAL PASTE
HOW DOES THERMAL PASTE WORK?
Thermal paste is a sticky mass inconsistency, which is the most frequently used method of heat transfer between CPUs and heat sinks. Naturally, the best performance can be achieved with high-quality pastes. However, the thermal paste can pose a challenge for beginners, who may experience difficulties when using it the first time, as both too much and too little paste can impair performance. Plus, in contrast to most thermal pads, thermal paste is not suitable for bridging larger distances.

WHAT IS THE CORRECT WAY TO APPLY THERMAL PASTE?
First, the surface of the chip should be thoroughly cleaned. Which is the best method to finally apply the thermal paste is always the subject of debate. Generally speaking, however, the thinner the better. Two of the most popular application methods are spreading, in which a small blob of paste is placed in the middle and then distributed evenly over the entire surface; and the blob method, in which one simply presses the heat sink onto the blob and the thermal paste is so distributed by itself.

HOW LONG DOES THERMAL PASTE LAST? WHEN SHOULD IT BE REPLACED?
Generalizations regarding the durability of applied thermal paste cannot be made. While some pastes have to be renewed regularly to prevent drying out, ARCTICS MX-5 offers a very long shelf life of at least 8 years. An increase in the processor temperature is a good indicator of dried out paste because it causes heat transfer to be less efficient.

HOW IS THERMAL PASTE REMOVED?
Fresh thermal paste can often be easily wiped off. If it has already dried, it is advisable to moisten a cloth with isopropyl alcohol and remove the paste with a light wipe.
