Thermal grease increases the thermal conductivity between your CPU and the heatsink. Each thermal compound is different and choosing the right one will keep your CPU running a few degrees cooler. It may not mean much, but if you are an overclocker or modder than you know how precious each degree or even a fraction of a degree is.

A good thermal compound should be easy to apply, take off but should also perform at its best in all conditions. It should also last for a long time and should not harden or glue the heatsink to the CPU. Now, to see what the Arctic Cooling MX-2 can do, we put it to the test against the Noctua NT-H1 thermal grease. Let's see how they perform.
