Arctic Cooling Announces MX-3 High Performance Thermal Compound
The Swiss cooling solution provider ARCTIC COOLING today unveiled the new premium thermal compound ARCTIC MX-3 (4g). Its high thermal conductivity and non-curing nature make it one of the best thermal compounds for overclockers and gamers.

As an upgraded version of the award-winning ARCTIC MX-2, the performance of the ARCTIC MX-3 outranges other well-known thermal compounds clearly. This new compound is composed of carbon microparticles which lead to an extremely high thermal conductivity – 8.2 W/mK. It guarantees that heat from the CPU or GPU can be dissipated quickly and efficiently.

Oh really... I liked the MX-2. It and OCZ Freeze are my choices.

I will be pickin one up when I run out of current stock. Need to time it around when I am pickin up some other hardware as I hate payin more for shipping than what the product cost. I can only imagine if you were to just buy this and what the shipping would be on it!!!

Read a little closer here.......

"CARBON PARTICLES" (sounds like IC Diamond TIM with a different name to me)

Diamond is pure carbon and has the highest thermal conductivity.

Ugh, got a test sample of IC7 Diamond a while back, using that stuff is like trying to spread hardened cement.

could never get it thin enough on my IHS, looked like I had a slice of cheese on there...

I've been using the MX-2 for quite a while now, if the MX-3 is similar I will use it too. One thing I really like about the MX-2 is how malleeable it is, suitable for use on video cards, chipsets etc anywhere you don't really want to use the excessive force neccesary to spread something like IC7.
