Arctic Cooling MX-2 vs. Noctua NT-H1 Thermal Paste Showdown

 

Thermal paste is something you might not think about very much, but it can really provide a little bit of a cooler performance boost. Most users are probably still using the same paste that came on the bottom of their cooler when they bought it, but...

Good Performance ; Easy to Apply

None

Well I was hoping that the results would have helped me declare a clear winner, but from the results it's quite obvious that this duel has ended in a draw. With the results being so close there is no way to recommend one product over the other, and if...

Arctic Cooling MX-2 Thermal Compound

 

Calling all cooling enthusiasts, there is a new TIM in town! Arctic Cooling has concocted a new, versatile thermal compound dubbed MX-2. Does Arctic Cooling have an award winner or is this just another one hit wonder like the previous New Kids on the...

Arctic Cooling is doing a good job at slowly branching out into new, but still closely related product markets. Thermal compound is not something that usually tops the list of concerns for the average system builder, but it is something that everyone...

Arctic Cooling MX-2 thermal paste review

 

When it comes to keeping your system cooling, it's easy to forget about the little things.  Of course, the actual physical hardware (CPU coolers, case fans, chassis design and the like) are all hugely important, but in the case of processor cooling,...

Although choosing the right thermal paste might not always be high on the average enthusiasts list of priorities our testing here has shown that, given the right system, shelling out just a few pounds more to replace your generic thermal compound can...

Arctic Cooling MX-2 Thermal Compound Review

 

The Arctic Cooling MX-2 thermal compound comes in a very simple package – just the tube, nothing else unless you consider the nicely printed piece of paper that holds limited information.

Regardless of whether you’re planning to use Arctic Cooling MX-2 or Arctic Silver 5, they’re both great thermal compounds but it's clear that the MX-2 being the better one. The main difference is their chemical composition which could spell trouble if...

Arctic Cooling MX-2 Thermal Compound

 

There are many companies out there today making thermal compounds and vying for your dollars. At one point the best was Arctic Silver, but some of these other companies are pushing them out of that top spot, and let's face it you can't be on top...

Non conductive ; Large quantity for price ; Low price point ; Easy to apply ; Excellent performance

None that I could find

Not only is the Arctic Cooling MX-2 thermal compound better performing that AS5, it also has the added features of not being conductive.

Arctic Cooling MX2 Thermal Compound
