DH Review: Arctic Cooling MX2 Thermal Compound
Read The Review Here
_________________________
Arctic Silver have everything to cater for chipset, VGA, Case or CPU cooling. Our most favoured product to date has been their original Freezer 7 CPU cooler which despite being 2 years old still cools our QX6700 Intel CPU without issue and in near silence, 24hours a day. Of course a good cooler can do only so much if a generic thermal compound is applied between the CPU/GPU/Chipset and the heatsink, luckily Arctic Cooling have us covered on this front as their MX-1 paste provides some excellent benefits over standard "gloop". However, the reason we are here is to introduce a new product, the MX-2 High Performance Thermal Compound.

Oh nice! Using MX1, as it's one of the best pastes, only liquid silver beats it, which I has used, but it's a pain in the arse to apply and can only be used with cobber coolers.
Guess I have to get my self som MX2, looks good.

Good review as always. I noticed just one little bug - there is a "ATI HD2400 - NV 8400 Roundup" in the title bar (the one with the "back to top" button).

They did compare with mx-1, but anyway AS5 and Artic Ceramique is slighty worse then MX-1 and Liquid Silver is slight better then MX-1, so this would place MX-2 on the top with Liquid Silver.

I doubt under real world conditions that the MX-2 is any better than burned in AS5. When these companies do reviews to show there temps compared to AS5 I would bet they do AS5 last with a fresh layer and put more than is required. I am idling tight now at 23C with 68F room temp. I might get a tube just to try it so I can have a definite unbiased answer. It would have been nice to have AS5 reviewed here under the same exact conditions. Still a nice review though.
Anybody seen it for sale yet?
