Highest Performance Thermal Compound

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.

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 micro-particles which fill these cavities. This leads to high thermal conductivity, guaranteeing that heat is dissipated efficiently from the CPUs, GPUs or power semiconductor components.

Available in Various Versions

ARCTIC MX-5 is available in sizes ranging from 2 to 50 grams. Resealable packaging prevents the paste from drying out. Alternatively, the variants are available with a spatula.

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.

Easy Application

Thanks to its consistency, MX-5 is easy to apply, even for beginners. The video below demonstrates the application technique to avoid air pockets between processors and coolers.
