APH Networks: ARCTIC MX-5 Review

I was chatting with a friend's dad a few years ago who was thoroughly convinced winter tires do not do anything. I thought that was an interesting claim, mainly because most people on the no winter tire camp do not usually debate whether they work or not; they simply argue whether the performance difference is necessary in practice. Knowing my friend's dad likes to be frugal in areas where he thinks is not visible, I asked him what winter tires he got. "Whatever that was the cheapest I could buy at Walmart," he replied. "All winter tires are the same anyway." I took a closer look at his car, and it was no joke -- what he got on his car was some knockoff tires from some unknown Chinese brand. I found it particular interesting how he would have no problems spending $40,000 on a brand-new car only to save a few hundred bucks on the only surface that actually contacts the road. In my opinion, you can buy a car with the best safety systems available, but nothing will save you if the material between the road and your car is no good. Similarly, you can buy the best heatsink in the market, but until all the heat from your processor can be transferred efficiently, you are not going to see the best results. So today, we will take a look at the interface material that goes between your CPU and cooler, which is the thermal paste. When used appropriately, unlike a certain infamous YouTube video from a few years back, it can make all the difference. So how does the new ARCTIC MX-5 compare against industry-leading products like the Noctua NT-H2? Read on to find out!
