HOLY MAKARONI
hehe, am still waiting for my four tubes of 4g mx-2 and a akasa tim clean
must come soon, have waited two weeks allready :(

Akasa TIM CLEAN? What the hell is that?

Has anybody used this product yet? I am still using AS5. Should I upgrade to this or is there something else that is even better?

People have used MX-2, and it's better than AS5, but unless if you're a real OCD overclock junkie, then AS5 is all you need. The good thing about MX-2 is that it can be also used on GPU's.

Wow, enough to put on my toast!

mmm toast...

Did anyone ever review the OCZ stuff www.techpowerup.com/?46072?

Any thoughts on which may be better?

All I use now is MX-2. Dropped temps on my Q6600 a few degrees, and about 6c on my 8800GT compared to AS5.

i use AS5 on my GPUs anyway lol

Nice! I'm going to put this stuff on everything. I hear it clears up acne too!!!! J/k.

Mx-2 is great. Use atm only on my gpu, but will soon use it on the cpu as well, as soon as I feel up to it.

Whats so great about it? I am using Antec Silver 5 and it does fine.

MX-2 doesn't have to sit like Artic silver 5.. Plus if you look at the making of Aritc Silver 5 it has metal flakes in it... Or something else like that... I forget...

The better points of MX-2: it is not conductive nor is it capacitive, no burn-in time, and I've found that it performs much better on my naked Opteron 170 than AS5 did. With the arctic silver my load temps were ~57 C while MX-2 kept it at 48 C max. I was skeptical at first too at the performance difference but figured if I could drop my temps with only using different paste I'd try (I still have almost half a large tube of AS5 that'll I'll use on rigs of friends and family). I reserve the MX-2 for myself!

lol... I'd do that too! Artic Silver 5 has REAL SILVER flaxes in the liquid. it will cause friction to which it can wear down the compound. and because of the flaxes, it isn't as solid as MX-2. And with that, the temps are higher...

MX-1 was my first thermal paste, it was a realy wreid story
when i was about to order the Arctic Silver i acidently ordered mx-1 :roll:
but it was good as mx-1 was safer, as in i got it on my cpu pins and it oced fine to 2.6ghz :rockout:

JC316Whats so great about it? I am using Antec Silver 5 and it does fine.

the antec stuff is nasty, and not even silver. Go to a real grease and you will get far better temps.

MX2 is quite easy to apply, which results in better temps for most.

Agreed. A thermal paste round-up would be excellent and probably a first-of-its-kind. :)
