Arctic Cooling MX-3 Thermal Compound

[Akaru]

The Swiss cooling solution provider Arctic Cooling has unveiled the premium thermal compound Arctic MX-3 (4g) with high thermal conductivity and non-curing nature.

 

Main Features:

 

* High Thermal Conductivity

* Low Thermal Resistance

* Non-Electrical Conductive

* Non-Capacitive

* Non-Corrosive

* No Curing

* No Bleeding

 

According to the test, the CPU core temperature is 7°C and 2.5°C lower than using stock compound and other branded ones respectively. It shows how significant a high performance thermal compound can be to reduce the temperature.

 

Arctic MX-3 will be available pretty soon, and it will cost US$12.25.

...you wrote a review for thermal paste?

I would be glad if my piece of shit computer over heated and somehow started on fire.

Not even a review, just an advertisement. I still like my IC Diamond, and mx-2 works well enough.

I wonder if this will fit my Case i mean like these things are great!:dance::dance: they get the job done to make you laugh your motherfucking ass off.:dance::dance:

It's paste gator, it's the little goopy paste you put inbetween your heatsink and your CPU to keep the CPU from overheating and letting out it's magic smoke. If you can't fit it in your case you're probably confusing your computer with a small wad of tinfoil.

Nah. The Tech Talk area is for computer talk, so I decided to post some news here. Because it does say "Anything tech related. Talk about tech news, hardware and software." Also, all I see on this topic is help threads. Trying to keep people updated with the current computer world.

 

I don't know if this paste outperforms the ZM-STG1, but I know this paste is pretty good.

Dude, its just a compound designed to be highly heat conductive to transfer heat to the heatsink/fans, all of the different companies use close to same chemical compounds so there's nothing here to really review, its not like they have "secret" recipes like coca cola and pepsi.

There's a few differences. Arctic Silver is slightly capacitive, MX line is not, IC Diamond uses industrial diamonds in a medium for heat transfer.

Meh, I still have a shitload of AS5, and that seems to be working perfectly fine so......
