Increased viscosity naturally means degraded heat conducting properties, as the paste does not get into the crevices on the IHS surface under pressure of a cooler, and in worse cases the density can be so high that the paste is not even properly spread or at least stays in a thicker layer than is optimal from the point of view of heat transfer. Given these factors, if you are choosing between MX-4, MX-5, and MX-6, MX-6 is the preferable option due to its better thermal performance, improved durability, and features designed to address common thermal paste concerns. I had the same thought as you (That they've fixed it), and was looking for one, went to their site and couldn't find MX-5.

I always use Noctua even though I dont use Noctua coolers I do use only Noctua fans, it may not be fancy or as sexy as the various thermal blah blah etc but it works and it works consistently and my temps are always fine and splitting apart for maintenance or swops is never an issue, I may lose a deg or 2 ( or gain lol) but hell who cares. multiple hard drives the norm, lots of memory and mainboards covered in heatpipes to combat toasty core logic and PWM circuits, a PC appreciably warming up a room when it’s working hard is no joke.Blender multicore test ran for 10 min at 70-75C, good result considering the 5000 series is considered to run hot.

Answer: Arctic MX-5 faced issues with irregular durability, premature hardening, and overall consistency in some batches, leading to its discontinuation. There were no recorded differences between the ARCTIC and Noctua thermal pastes, because the truth is the processor in its idle state is not generating a whole lot of heat in the first place. The company explains that the affected compounds contain ‘anomalies in consistency and shelf life', leading to increased oil separation within the paste and premature hardening.In my opinion, no other paste is worth using after testing a good batch of this MX-5 however, and liquid metal is not worth the 3-5 degrees in performance you might gain from a good application.

Arctic MX-4, MX-5, and MX-6 are all thermal pastes that are used to improve heat transfer between the CPU or GPU and the heat sink enhancing system performance and stability. And I can’t apply significant pressure when spreading the material as the internal support in the laptop is a bit flexible. W/m-K is not bad compared to cheap and mainstream thermal greases, it is considerably below thermal conductivity of market leaders like Thermal Grizzly's Kryonaut and Kryonaut Extreme that are designed with extreme overclockers in mind. I have tried repasting several time, cleaning using lint free paper and solvent so made no difference and gave up entirely on thermal grizzly.While thermal compounds are important, their impact on temperatures can vary depending on factors like the quality of the compound, the design of the cooling solution, and the overall thermal design of the device. High CPU load results were obtained using the Prime95 in-place large FFTs test with eight worker threads for a minimum of 15 minutes or until the temperature was deemed stable.

The surfaces of processor chips and cooler floors are covered with microscopic dents; ARCTIC‘s MX-5 thermal paste is composed of carbon microparticles which fill these cavities. Some mention that it spreads easily and cools very well, while others say that it's a lot harder to spread and get an equal level, and that the very thick paste doesn't spread well. Watercooling for the PC has been around for years in some form or another, for at least as long as Scan have been in business, with basic physics defining why you want to use it.Most purchases from business sellers are protected by the Consumer Contract Regulations 2013 which give you the right to cancel the purchase within 14 days after the day you receive the item. The Arctic MX-4 thermal paste is made of carbon microparticles that fill the microscopic dents on the surfaces of processor chips and cooler floors. I put Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut High Performance Thermal Paste on my 5800X and Noctua NH-D15 Chromax Black cooler about 15 months ago. Ideally, we would have wanted to do 3 tests as a minimum for a single thermal paste and showing the average of these three runs but due to my poor health condition, one test result is shown. Optimizing thermal management in computer hardware is essential to ensure the longevity and optimal performance of processors, whether in a desktop workstation or a high-performance gaming rig.
