Arctic Cooling MX-2

Let's face it... Arctic Silver 5 is the most popular thermal paste among the enthusiast communities. It's very well known, performs excellent, and is extremely easy to use.

After some research, I switched over to Arctic Cooling MX-1. It's much harder to apply than AS5, and (in my case) performed a bit better (roughly 1-1.5 degrees). Overall, I'd say it's worth it.

I picked up a tube of MX-2, hoping that it would give further improvements. The problem is, due to recent hardware failure, I won't have anything to test it on for at least a week or two. Has anyone tried it? What's your thoughts on the application and performance?

Thanks. 🙂
 
I have some. It isn't as thick as AS5, but I don't know if that made it easier or harder to apply. I don't have any before or after temps with AS5 or anything, but it is great thermal paste. It is keeping my CPU very cool.
