Without causing much fuss, the well-known manufacturer of refrigeration solutions Arctic has launched its new generation of MX-5 thermal paste several years, specifically more than 10 years after the last version, the MX-4. Thermal paste is a key component for cooling a computer, it serves to create a very thin layer between the chip (processor, GPU, etc.) and the dissipation block to fill in the small micro-gaps and imperfections that may exist between both surfaces.

The Arctic MX-4 always enjoyed a good reputation in the world due to its good thermal conductivity, resistance to the passage of time and, above all, to the a absence of metallic or electrically conductive elements in its composition, which gave it extra security when using it and any unwanted contact with the paste and electrical elements of the plate or chips.

The Arctic MX-5 promises high performance, without electrical conductivity and with 8 years of durability

The new Arctic MX-5 maintains these properties, ensuring the absence of elem metallic or electrically conductive entrances, together with a formula with which they promise a durability of 8 years and a consistency that facilitates its application.

It is currently available on Amazon.co.uk for a price of 10, 59 pounds for 4 grams, about 15, 26 euros at the current exchange rate. It should not take long to appear in our country, although at the moment it does not appear on the company’s website.
