Arctic Cooling MX-3 Thermal Grease

Excellent Cooling Choice!

After testing the Arctic Cooling MX-2 last time, we wanted to see how if the MX-3 thermal grease was really better or not. Thanks to Arctic Cooling for sending us a 4g syringe of their MX-3 thermal compound for testing. Although, thermal compounds are a very small part of any cooling setup, they are extremely crucial. They helps to better connect the heatsink with the CPU to transfer heat effectively out.

If you don't use the right thermal paste/grease/compound, you may not be able to achieve the cooling power that you would with it. The MX-2 did really well in our tests so let's see how the MX-3 holds up against it and the Noctua NT-H1 compounds.
