Cooling/Thermal Compounds by stefan @ 2010-08-24
The MX-4 thermal compound from ARCTIC COOLING is their latest product released to the masses, in this article it is compared to MX-3 and MX-2. The MX-4 claims to improve performance, easier to apply and retains a good price/performance balance. Time to put their claims to the test.
The ARCTIC MX-4 is a metal-free and non-electrical conductive which eliminates any risks of causing short circuit, adding more protection to the CPU and VGA cards.
The ARCTIC MX-4’s consistency is engineered for simplicity of application, superior thermal conductivity and high durability. With its new formula, the ARCTIC MX-4 guarantees exceptional heat dissipation from the components and supports the stability needed to push your system to its limit.
Non-curing and no bleeding means longer service life of the compound. In contrast to metal and silicon compounds, the ARCTIC MX-4 does not show decreasing performance over time. It does not need to be reapplied and has a durability of at least 8 years.
