Arctic Brings Us Our First Thermal Paste Showdown In Quite Some Time

Arctic MX-4 vs MX-6 vs MX-7

The thermal paste you use may not reduce the running temperature of your CPU temperature by a huge amount, but it can mean the difference between a stable overclock and one that crashes under heavy load.  Many people have their favourite thermal paste brand and everyone knows that only they have the one true method to properly apply that paste.

If you are interesting in possibly trying out a new type of thermal paste, OC Inside have gathered three different options from Arctic and tested them out.  They range in density from the lightest MX-4 to the middle choice MX-6 to the thicc MX-7 which does seem to perform the best overall.  If you are looking to squeeze a little extra performance out of your system, drop by for a look.
