Product Information

Durability and Consistency: MX-5 faced issues with durability and consistency, leading to its discontinuation. ARCTIC has mentioned that the color of MX-5 is blue though it seems more like a shade of light blue color. Modifying” a cooler by replacing the fan with a relatively more efficient model may not always lead to the desired result. Optimizing thermal management in computer hardware is essential to ensure the longevity and optimal performance of processors, whether in a desktop workstation or a high-performance gaming rig.

The values on the graphs are calculated by taking the average of all cores temperature values and deducting ambient temperature from the average value to yield delta temperature values. Among Arctic MX-4, MX-5, and MX-6, the MX-6 is generally considered the better option in terms of thermal performance and features. MX-6 was introduced as the successor with improvements over both MX-4 and MX-5 in terms of performance and reliability. This means that it is safe to use on electronic components, as it will not cause short circuits or discharges. Even with trying to lean the heatsink over to remove it, it still ripped my 5600X out of the socket.

Having put it on and clamping the block on it does work, no crazy temps so it must be as designed/intended. I have tried in two different systems, one has a Ryzen 7 5800x (Known to be very hot) and the other was Ryzen 9 5900x. This means that at equal noise levels, you will achieve lower cooling performance, and it doesn’t really matter what fan you use. KitGuru says: It's never ideal to find out a product you bought is faulty, but credit to Arctic for their transparency and doing the right thing.

Blender multicore test ran for 10 min at 70-75C, good result considering the 5000 series is considered to run hot.

It has slightly better conductivity than the previous MX-4 variant and also supports a wider temperature ranges. Me llegó rápido ya se la puse ala ps4 lo mejor es que no es conductora así que puedes poner buena cantidad sin preocuparte a qué se derrame como otras que si los son en la reviews de expertos sale muy bien está .

Cons: The thermal paste does feel thick and difficult to spread but I had no issues using 'pea' or 'x' method.

It'll be interesting to see if Arctic starts including the MX-6 paste with their existing or upcoming coolers, though I think they'll stick to what they currently use since the MX-5 wasn't included with coolers AFAIK. I know I've used it in multiple builds, even to repaste GPUs, and so far I didn't have a single issue.

This is due to the compound that makes up the paste not holding together properly, and the thermally conductive interface will harden before application, in the tube. MX-4 is an excellent choice for overclockers and enthusiasts, as well as other applications that require thermal transfer. It has a viscosity of 550 pascal seconds, which is below that of MX-4, but it is still easy to apply.
