ARCTIC MX-2 (4g, 8g, 30g & 65g)

MX-2 is easy to apply, it was in the lead among the other thermal compound (e.g. GlacialStars Ice Therm I, Deep Cool Z9, Titan Nano Grease, Alsil-3)by keeping the temperature at around 70C for first 20 minutes.

I would definitely recommend ARCTIC MX-2 which offers superior restuls at a great price, and it may be even better to have it in every store. ARCTIC MX-2 is the test winner among 11 other thermal compound from other famous brand (e.g. cooler master, Akasa, Noctua, Zalman, Thermaltake) and is awarded a silver star in this review.

After the roundup among 17 thermal compounds, we confidently crown the ARCTIC MX-2 with performance award. It is with both very easy application and very high efficiency.

The MX-2 is ranked at the top 4 out of 13 thermal compound in our test. It also managed to have a better cooling performance in compare with the much more recent product, it also able to work without problems even at a temperature of -100 degree Celsius which is very impressive. The quantity and price is definitely the real strength of the MX-2. A tube of 65g is about 25 euro, equivalent to a value of 0.38 euro per gram which is very competitive.

ARCTIC COOLING's MX-2 can defend it's position as test-winner. The application of the compound is very easy and one of the best inside this roundup.

An excellent thermal compound which guarantee high performance. It is non-electroconductive between the CPU and heatsinks.

Without a doubt, I'm totally satisfied with this product. There are so many things to like about this product and to tell you the truth, I'm really having a hard time thinking of any negative points. Its performance was at the top in every test while its easy of use in terms of spreadability was second to none and (unlike some competitors) it is not electrically conductive. The real icing on the cake is the fact that Arctic Cooling gives you more thermal compound (4 grams to be exact) than its competitors while maintaining a lower price than most of the other compounds on the market. It doesn't get any better than this folks!

Excellent thermal paste. It certainly provides the best performance out of all.

Not o­nly is the Arctic Cooling MX-2 thermal compound better performing that AS5, it also has the added features of not being conductive. The MX-2 does that in that it is non-conductive so there are no worries of accidentally hitting a trace circuit and shorting your system or worse.

Arctic Cooling hat hervorragende Arbeit geleistet. Die MX-2 leitet die Wärme nicht nur optimal an den Kühlkörper, sie lässt sich auch noch wunderbar verteilen und einfach entfernen.[...] Auch wenn wohl niemand mehr erwartet hat das nach der Arctic Silver V noch einmal wirklich eine Verbesserung kommt, die MX-2 hat es geschafft und verdient sich unseren Award in Gold.

The temperature reducing benefits of Arctic Cooling's MX-2 Thermal Compound are clear to see. Whilst these results are impressive as is.

Its performances are very interesting within the framework of our tests. It is the dream, well-sure; no harmful effect is to be regretted, even with the Turbo Module installed. o­n this last our matter will be measured more, its effectiveness is quite real and undeniable.
