MX-5 Thermal Compound

ARCTIC MX-5 is a carbon-based thermal paste designed for CPUs, GPUs and power semiconductor components. The 2.0 g syringe includes a spatula and comes in resealable packaging that prevents the compound from drying out. It is completely metal-free, so it poses no risk of electrical shorts or corrosion on cooler bases. This makes it suitable for builders who want a safe, non-conductive compound for general system assembly.

Sustained Load Behaviour

The paste maintains high long-term stability across a working temperature range of -40 to 180 °C. Its non-drying and non-bleeding properties ensure that thermal resistance stays low over extended periods of heavy use. Carbon microparticles fill microscopic surface cavities to keep heat dissipation efficient without degradation. Users who need a compound rated for liquid-metal longevity or extreme sub-ambient cooling should look elsewhere.

Interface Practical Limits

MX-5 delivers a thermal resistance of 1.9 × 10^13 Ω-cm and a viscosity of 550 poise at a density of 3.2 g/cm³. These figures define the practical performance envelope when mating a processor heat-spreader to a cooler base. The compound allows a very thin bondline regardless of application method, but it does not change the fundamental thermal limits of the cooler or processor package itself.

Questions about this item

Does the MX-5 paste stay stable at the 180 °C upper operating limit during sustained loads?

The compound is rated for continuous operation from -40 °C to 180 °C and is formulated to be non-drying and non-bleeding, so it maintains its thermal resistance of 1.9 × 10^13 Ω-cm without hardening or separating over time.

What cooler mounting hardware or cleaning supplies do I need before applying the MX-5?

You need a compatible CPU or GPU cooler already installed, plus isopropyl alcohol and a lint-free cloth to remove any old paste; the 2 g syringe includes a spatula for spreading, so no separate applicator is required.

Will the non-conductive MX-5 paste cause any issues if it contacts older motherboard components or exposed traces?

Because the MX-5 is completely metal-free and neither electrically conductive nor capacitive, it will not create short circuits or corrosion on legacy boards, even if a thin layer spreads beyond the die during installation.
