Let’s head to Arctic, which is very active at the moment, as the brand has just launched its new thermal paste, MX-7. This new reference comes with a new syringe design, but above all a new formula that makes it easier to apply and even more effective.
MX-7: Arctic’s new thermal Nutella!
With this new paste, Arctic presents us with 2g, 4g and 8g syringes. It’s a pity we don’t have a larger 20g pack, but what the heck. In any case, the brand offers us a new formula that improves heat transfer performance. At present, in the brand’s catalog, it’s the most effective model, ranking ahead of the MX-4 by far, and ahead of the MX-6.
It’s also a non-conductive paste. It can be applied to a CPU, a GPU or even a console chip, for example, without the risk of burning anything. What’s more, its viscous consistency means that it will apply evenly with the heatsink’s clamping pressure. No need for a spatula here.
Otherwise, we discover that the brand has updated its syringes. What’s more, we find a new authenticity verification system. This way, you can be sure you’re buying an original product and not a counterfeit. All you need to do is enter the code on the syringe on this site.
As for prices, the 8g syringe costs €20.99, compared with €15.99 for the 4g pack and €14.49 for the 2g pack. Note that the smaller 2g and 4g syringes are offered with wipes, while the larger 8g is not. But all this is already available on Amazon (France) at €7.49 (2g), €7.89 (4g) and €9.59 (8g).
