MX 5 2 g

Product Information

When I went to remove the eSport ONE to replace it with my AIO, I twisted the heatsink back and forth until it felt like the MX-5 was breaking loose.

Their bases of operation are in Switzerland, Germany, Hong Kong, and the USA with the availability of their products in over 45 countries. Since the mere thermal conductivity value cannot provide any information about the actual performance, we put our MX-5 up against a broad field of competitors under laboratory conditions. It greatly benefits from the spatula application method (thin even spread over IHS before installing cooler). I think it's slightly runnier than some compounds I've used but I dunno if that's difference between an mx-4 to mx-5, or just a difference in brand, but its nothing bad, if anything its easier to spread.

The interface between a CPU/GPU and its heatsink can have air gaps or inconsistencies that hinder heat transfer. I know I've used it in multiple builds, even to repaste GPUs, and so far I didn't have a single issue. In any case, it is once again a 120 mm fan that will be taking the top ranks in comparison tests with its performance characteristics.

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. This is because the NT-H2 is considered one of the best, if not the best, thermal paste in the market today. To achieve comparable results to larger cross-section models, there needs to be higher rpms and with them higher noise levels, but as long as you accept this, and you don’t really have much choice due to the size constraints, the new P8 Max fan seems like an attractive option.

W/m-K and it has a temperature range between -40 and 180 degrees Celsius, which essentially means that it's not designed for extreme overclocking. If you wonder why the results were a few degrees different than the ones in my Noctua NH-D15S chromax. Room temp between the grizzly and mx4 test has been 24-28c, the MX-5 still performed the same at a room temp of 30c during the heatwave! As we advance into an era of ever-more demanding computing tasks, the right thermal paste can contribute significantly to maintaining system stability, extending hardware lifespan, and unlocking the full potential of modern processors.
