What customers say about "Key Specs"
ARCTIC MX-2 Thermal Compound Paste
  • Non-conductive. You can't ruin your electronics.
  • High thermal conductivity. Great thermal paste.
  • This stuff is non-conductive so I didn't even have to worry about accidentally letting excess get onto the motherboard.
  • It has very high thermal conductance, almost as good as the MX-4 compound.
  • This has very good cooling properties.
ARCTIC MX-4 Thermal Paste
  • This stuff has excellent thermal conductivity and lasts much longer than other pastes!
  • Extremely efficient heat transfer and is non-conductive.
  • Easy to apply with very good heat conductivity.
  • More easier to apply due to lower viscosity and gives good results without having to wait for it set.
  • I used the supplied paste and the temps were great, never going over 76C with all cores at 4.1GHz.
