According to Corsair, the ultra-low thermal impedance of the XTM50 compound makes it better than most other cooling solutions on the market.
This is suitable for use across different CPUs on the market including even high-performance HEDT chips like an AMD Ryzen Threadripper. The slight-blue tint and smooth, viscous compound has a bit more fluid consistency much like thin toothpaste making it easy to apply and cleanup which lends to very smooth and fast spreading during cooler tension, but can also be prone to dripping and running if applied on vertical surfaces. Thermal Grizzly is known to have some of the best thermal solutions on the market, although your mileage may vary. CoolLaboratory Liquid Pro is a liquid metal compound that is applied with a syringe and capillary tip to the CPU integrated heat spreader, and it ships with a scouring pad and alcohol swab for prep and cleanup.
Building a PC doesn't have to be more complicated than it already is, so it's best to stay away from liquid metal thermal paste if you don't know what you're getting into. The Cooler Master MasterGel Regular, however, is good enough for most users and it works without any issues. I don't know if it's very viable to do performance comparisons other than good/bad/terrible without very specific equipment. The overall performance of the solution has also been pretty solid as we've encountered no abnormalities in the CPU temps. It does so by eschewing rare ingredients such as diamond dust or precious metal particles, and there is no mention of nano-particle science.

Despite the seemingly astronomical viscosity figure, the new paste claims to be very easy to apply, and it looks pretty ordinary in the application demo video seen below. Instead of thermal paste can also be used Thermal pads, – especially when bridging larger distances. It comes in syringe-type dispensers of 2 g, 4 g, and 8 g, as well as a bundle of a 4 g dispenser with six MX Cleaner wipes. The successor to the popular MX-5, Arctic reveals that the new substance is “based on the proven MX-4” formula.
I have loads of hobbies and not enough time, a gf in a different country I been living with off and on since 2019, and we plan to get married, and life is just changing a lot for me lately. Silver 5 is slightly capacitive and it could potentially cause problems if it bridges two close-proximity electrical paths. The Noctua NT-H1 doesn't have a break-in period which means it's good to go right from the moment you install the CPU cooler and boot the system. Some of the best CPU coolers will come with thermal paste already applied, but we've compiled a list of our favorite thermal pastes in case you need to reseat the CPU or remove the cooler for some reason. Yep, I agree, but the thinking being GPU thermal paste updates are a bit more specific and not necessarily as user-friendly as CPU cooling applications, so we will likely be focusing on them as a standalone article with some reference back here.
Hopefully, we will have some independent insight into the new Arctic MX-6 soon and be able to determine if it is one of the best thermal pastes.Ryzen 7000 and their thick IHS screwed the pooch so delidding them is a really interesting propositionI'll see how screwed it is soon. A lot of CPUs on the market are now capable of hitting crazy peak frequencies when overclocked under favorable conditions. The low tension mounting tests help simulate cooler installs that might not use a backplate (like push-pin coolers) or those that do not allow high tension and compression across the CPU integrated heat spreader. Thermal Grizzly's Carbonaut also promises not to get old, which means you probably don't have to apply a fresh one as often as you would in the case of thermal paste.
Great Deal
