2nd generation of the High Performance Thermal Compound
Pfäffikon/ Switzerland, 10.7.2007. The Swiss cooling solution provider – ARCTIC COOLING has
launched a new high performance thermal compound MX-2 for the enthusiast.
MX-2 is a high conductive and low resistance compound for components that require the best thermal
dissipation. MX-2 is ideally suited for use in CPU, GPU cooling and other applications between power
semiconductor components and heat sinks where high thermal conductivity is critical.
Since the MX-2 compound does not contain any metal particles, there are no problems regarding
electrical conductivity and capacitance. In contrast to silver and copper compounds, contact with
electrical traces, pins, and leads cannot result in any damage.
Curing and bleeding of the compound is not possible. In contrast to metal or silicon pastes, this
compound does not show decreasing performance over time, does not need to be reapplied and has a
durability of at least 8 years.
“We’re highly impressed for its outstanding performance,” said Patrick Chung, marketing manager of
ARCTIC COOLING. “MX-2 outperforms in almost all tests. It’s definitely one of the best non-electric
conductive thermal compounds available for all DIY enthusiasts.”
MX-2 will be available by the end of July 2007. The MSRP is USD 7.95 and Euro 5.95 (excl VAT)
