MX‑7 is Arctic’s newest thermal paste, developed over roughly three years and positioned as their best formula to date. The main improvements include:
Lower thermal resistance → better heat transfer
Higher cohesion → the paste does not separate or dry out easily
More viscous than MX‑6, but less than MX‑4
Electrically non‑conductive and non‑capacitive → safe for CPUs, GPUs, laptops and consoles
According to Arctic’s internal testing:
Up to 2.3°C lower temperatures compared to MX‑6
Up to 4.1°C lower temperatures compared to MX‑4
MX‑7 is a thick and highly viscous paste with a high filler content. This means:
It is not suitable for spreading with a spatula (Arctic explicitly advises against it)
It should be applied using the X‑pattern method, allowing the cooler to spread it evenly
Its low adhesion helps the paste distribute uniformly under pressure
