Premium thermal compound for CPUs and GPUs
ARCTIC MX-7 is a dense, high-viscosity paste designed for processors, graphics cards, laptops and consoles. Its high filler content delivers exceptional heat transfer between the die and cooler. The electrically non-conductive formula eliminates any risk of short circuits on exposed circuitry. This product suits builders seeking long-term thermal stability without frequent maintenance.
Apply under cooler pressure only
The compound cannot be spread manually with a spatula due to its viscous consistency. Installation relies on mounting pressure to distribute the paste into a thin, bubble-free bond line automatically. Low adhesion prevents air entrapment during seating. High cohesion stops pump-out, dry-out and bleeding across repeated thermal cycles, so reapplication intervals are extended significantly.
Verify cooler mounting pressure before ordering
MX-7 requires firm, even pressure from the cooler to spread correctly across the die surface. Coolers with weak spring tension or uneven contact may leave gaps that reduce thermal performance. Ensure the mounting hardware supplies consistent force across the entire integrated heat spreader. The paste is sold in a 2-gram syringe; confirm the quantity matches the number of applications you plan.

Questions about this item
How can I verify the MX-7 is working correctly after applying it?
After mounting the cooler, monitor CPU or GPU temperatures under load; they should be lower and more stable than with the previous paste, confirming the dense compound is transferring heat efficiently.
What comes in the package and do I need any extra tools?
The package contains the MX-7 thermal compound syringe; the paste is designed to spread under cooler pressure without a spatula, so no spreading tool is required.
Which version or capacity of the MX-7 should I choose?
This item is the 2g syringe marked with the number 89; select it when you need a small amount for one or two applications.
