Prima.VeraWhat is the best paste based on your experience? I see that different test sites have different opinions and results. Cannot decide which one is nr 1. ..

GreiverBlade6.30 W/m-k seems low for a "high-performance" and the price ... is not appealing.


well, a 4g MX-4 is ~3.75$ for me and it's a 8.50 W/m-k, so, what's NZXT point for releasing that?
the MX-5 is priced similarly, a little less on the syringe content, but is a 15.60 W/m-k

trsttteNZXT is really trying to milk any diy market segment it can, even low hanging fruit like thermal paste, got to wornder how much margin they get on each tube with those prices, good for them lol :D

I for one still have my trusty tube of mx4 and when that ends still have a noctual tube unused (came with the cooler, but i already had the mx4 open so..)

Dave65Doesn't look to promising.
Is MX 5 any good? Been using MX 4 for a while now..

ThrashZoneHi,
You forget mx-5 is eol once it sells out it's gone until mx-6 or mx-5 2022 comes out
W/m-k is pretty misleading seeing we're taking about a thin skin between cooler and cpu.

GreiverBladeyeah not wrong ... well i am using various similarly priced to that NZXT, but with higher W/m-k, TIM (mostly Thermal Grizzly and my current is the Cooler Master Master Gel Nano atm)
but my choice as best price perf ratio would be the MX-4

i base my W/m-k opinion on my own experience with these various TIM (yeah i also used Arctic Silver 5 ... which i viscerally hate due to the confusion peoples have with Arctic, ex Arctic Cooling, which is the maker of the MX series of TIM )

seems i forgot MX-5 was EOL, and i can't remember why :laugh: its performance was quite alike the Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut (good batch)

ThrashZoneHi,
Get it while you can it will be a collector items soon :laugh:

GreiverBladeyeah, i need at least one more tube to make it to 5 and have enough in reserve "5-XMX-5" i love symmetry, tho the first hyphen is too much but ALL FOR THE SAKE OF SYMMETRY! HAIL THE OVERLORD! wait ... nevermind i got carried away :D

ThrashZoneHi,
I just wish nt-h2 wasn't overpriced with all the useless 50% alcohol wipes I'd try it again.

maxflyI think this silly expansion trend we're seeing is simply a money grab by a ton-o companies (poor leadership trying to profit off of the last two years). Look at all of the companies that have no business going into memory, ssds, power supplies, gaming chairs/keyboards/mice/ headphones, AIOs and on and on. All these sectors are already overly saturated, there can't possibly be anything left for newcomers to squeeze out. Yet more and more try everyday. It's almost embarrassing...almost.

Tsukiyomi916.3W/mk is "high performance". Hah. High performance, MY ASS. Even Cooler Master's own MasterGel Pro has higher thermal conductivity while being way more cheaper than this garbage-tier "high performance" paste.
