Thermal Paste ARCTIC MX-2 2019 5.6 W/m·K 4 g

Thermal Paste ARCTIC MX-2 2019 5.6 W/m·K 4 g is a high-performance thermal compound formulated from carbon micro-particles to provide efficient heat transfer between CPU/GPU and heatsinks. Packaged in a recyclable bag to reduce CO2 footprint and presented in a 4 g syringe, MX-2 combines high thermal conductivity with long-term stability for desktop and laptop cooling applications.

Advantages

MX-2 delivers high thermal conductivity (5.6 W/m·K) through carbon micro-particles while containing no metallic particles, eliminating electrical conductivity risks. The compound has an easy-to-apply consistency suitable for beginners, maintains stable performance over time without the need for frequent reapplication (lasting over 8 years), and is supplied in optimised recyclable packaging that reduces packaging material impact by about 40%.

Suitable for

• Applying between CPU and cooler in desktop PCs
• GPU cooling solutions in graphics cards and small form-factor systems
• System builds and upgrades where reliable heat transfer is required
• Overclocking setups that require efficient thermal dissipation

How to use

Clean the surfaces of the CPU/GPU and heatsink from old thermal compound and debris using isopropyl alcohol and a lint-free cloth. Apply a small amount of MX-2 to the centre of the processor—enough to form a pea-sized dot for typical CPU IHS sizes—and mount the cooler evenly to spread the paste. Follow the cooler manufacturer's mounting instructions to avoid uneven pressure; the paste's consistency is designed to fill micro-gaps and minimize voids between the chip and heatsink.

Usage recommendations

Store the syringe at room temperature away from direct sunlight. Avoid contact with electrical pins—MX-2 is non-metallic, but good practice is to prevent any contamination. Reapply only when replacing the cooler or if thermal performance degrades noticeably; typical longevity exceeds eight years under normal operating conditions.
