00:00:00.719 --> 00:00:06.240
so today we're going to be unboxing arctic cooling arctic mx3 thermal

00:00:04.560 --> 00:00:10.160
compound i actually had to restart this one because i made some kind of stupid

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

00:00:11.920 --> 00:00:17.760
but let's actually just talk about the specs of this stuff so this is arctic

00:00:15.599 --> 00:00:23.519
cooling's latest thermal compound it is an updated version of the mx2 which is

00:00:20.480 --> 00:00:25.279
an updated version of mx1 and basically

00:00:23.519 --> 00:00:29.439
what they're saying is this one performs better and it's awesome okay it has

00:00:27.519 --> 00:00:33.680
eight year durability so that means you can use your computer for eight years

00:00:31.279 --> 00:00:37.360
without without reapplying this stuff before it cracks or dries out or

00:00:35.280 --> 00:00:40.960
anything like that has high thermal conductivity low thermal resistance

00:00:39.120 --> 00:00:44.160
those are the same thing pretty much for our purposes by the way it is

00:00:42.800 --> 00:00:48.239
electrically non-conductive and non-capacitive that is way more

00:00:45.920 --> 00:00:51.120
important that means that if you don't follow the proper

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

00:00:54.800 --> 00:01:01.199
those parts to short out it is non-curing which means it is working up

00:00:59.039 --> 00:01:05.280
to its full potential immediately unlike some competing thermal compounds that is

00:01:02.879 --> 00:01:09.280
non-corrosive and non-bleeding and i'm not sure how either of those are

00:01:07.200 --> 00:01:13.280
particularly relevant but it's all good okay so basically they show a graph on

00:01:11.040 --> 00:01:16.799
the back from hardware lux showing how it performs compared to a bunch of other

00:01:14.960 --> 00:01:20.799
thermal compounds in the market so they're saying you can expect up to

00:01:18.240 --> 00:01:26.400
about seven degrees better than standard thermal compound so that generic white

00:01:23.280 --> 00:01:30.080
goop so why don't we without further ado

00:01:26.400 --> 00:01:31.920
get this box opened up here there we go

00:01:30.080 --> 00:01:35.840
oh and this is dangerous for the environment and they have a picture of a

00:01:33.360 --> 00:01:40.799
dead tree and a dead fish that is the most awesome morning label i

00:01:38.000 --> 00:01:44.720
have ever seen on any product ever because

00:01:42.560 --> 00:01:48.720
it is like yeah don't put this in the water and

00:01:46.479 --> 00:01:53.600
don't put it on a plant because it will kill the plant and the fish

00:01:51.280 --> 00:01:58.960
okay so there is our tube it looks just like the tube for mx2

00:01:55.920 --> 00:02:00.960
and it has oh this is cool i've actually

00:01:58.960 --> 00:02:06.159
never seen this before they actually have a little meter where you can see

00:02:03.360 --> 00:02:10.319
how much is left that is the smartest thing ever because you always had to

00:02:07.840 --> 00:02:13.840
just eyeball it based on pushing down the plunger on the syringe anyway you

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

00:02:15.200 --> 00:02:21.720
it out okay thank you for checking out my unboxing of arctic cooling mx3
