00:00:00,719 --> 00:00:06,240
so today we're going to be unboxing arctic cooling arctic mx3 thermal

2
00:00:04,560 --> 00:00:10,160
compound i actually had to restart this one because i made some kind of stupid

3
00:00:08,240 --> 00:00:13,840
comment about how you shouldn't eat it i do maintain that you shouldn't eat it

4
00:00:11,920 --> 00:00:17,760
but let's actually just talk about the specs of this stuff so this is arctic

5
00:00:15,599 --> 00:00:23,519
cooling's latest thermal compound it is an updated version of the mx2 which is

6
00:00:20,480 --> 00:00:25,279
an updated version of mx1 and basically

7
00:00:23,519 --> 00:00:29,439
what they're saying is this one performs better and it's awesome okay it has

8
00:00:27,519 --> 00:00:33,680
eight year durability so that means you can use your computer for eight years

9
00:00:31,279 --> 00:00:37,360
without without reapplying this stuff before it cracks or dries out or

10
00:00:35,280 --> 00:00:40,960
anything like that has high thermal conductivity low thermal resistance

11
00:00:39,120 --> 00:00:44,160
those are the same thing pretty much for our purposes by the way it is

12
00:00:42,800 --> 00:00:48,239
electrically non-conductive and non-capacitive that is way more

13
00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:51,120
important that means that if you don't follow the proper

14
00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:56,719
instructions for applying it and you do get it on your motherboard or on something else then it will not cause

15
00:00:54,800 --> 00:01:01,199
those parts to short out it is non-curing which means it is working up

16
00:00:59,039 --> 00:01:05,280
to its full potential immediately unlike some competing thermal compounds that is

17
00:01:02,879 --> 00:01:09,280
non-corrosive and non-bleeding and i'm not sure how either of those are

18
00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:13,280
particularly relevant but it's all good okay so basically they show a graph on

19
00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:16,799
the back from hardware lux showing how it performs compared to a bunch of other

20
00:01:14,960 --> 00:01:20,799
thermal compounds in the market so they're saying you can expect up to

21
00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:26,400
about seven degrees better than standard thermal compound so that generic white

22
00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:30,080
goop so why don't we without further ado

23
00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:31,920
get this box opened up here there we go

24
00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:35,840
oh and this is dangerous for the environment and they have a picture of a

25
00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:40,799
dead tree and a dead fish that is the most awesome morning label i

26
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:44,720
have ever seen on any product ever because

27
00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:48,720
it is like yeah don't put this in the water and

28
00:01:46,479 --> 00:01:53,600
don't put it on a plant because it will kill the plant and the fish

29
00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:58,960
okay so there is our tube it looks just like the tube for mx2

30
00:01:55,920 --> 00:02:00,960
and it has oh this is cool i've actually

31
00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:06,159
never seen this before they actually have a little meter where you can see

32
00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:10,319
how much is left that is the smartest thing ever because you always had to

33
00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:13,840
just eyeball it based on pushing down the plunger on the syringe anyway you

34
00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:16,959
open it up you apply a bit to your CPU and then you win oh i accidentally got

35
00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:21,720
it out okay thank you for checking out my unboxing of arctic cooling mx3
