About this deal

New: A brand-new, unused, unopened and undamaged item in original retail packaging (where packaging . During the application process, I found the ARCTIC MX-5 to flow a little faster than I thought it would, but overall, it was not runny enough to become a concern. Availability of MX Cleaner: Some packages of MX-6 come with MX Cleaner, which provides an easy and residue-free method for cleaning contact surfaces.

While all this is great on paper, some batches of the Arctic MX-5 showed irregularities in durability, premature hardening, and overall consistency. I think it's slightly runnier than some compounds I've used but I dunno if that's difference between an mx-4 to mx-5, or just a difference in brand, but its nothing bad, if anything its easier to spread.

Arctic's MX-5 did not replace the MX-4 and the two pastes continued to co-exist up until recently, even though the new one often performed better than its predecessor.
