Arctic Cooling MX-2 vs. Cooler Master IC2 Essential E2?

[Tike]

Which is better, in your opinion?

Thanks in advance.

Sorry if this is the wrong topic, I couldn't find something for cooling.

The IC2 stuff comes with a grease cleanser! :O I'd go with that. "Arctic Cooling" is different from "Arctic Silver," at least I think, so I'm hesitant to choose that as it may just be a marketing scheme to gain people's trust. Cooler Master is a trusted brand, however, I'd go with some Arctic Silver 5 or higher if I were looking at thermal paste...

My bad, I thought they'd come out with Arctic Silver 7 for some reason... this is what I'd get - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835100007

I buyed IC2 some time ago and didn't get a grease cleanser. So I should go with the IC2?

Well, like I said, I'd go with a better trusted paste like Arctic Silver 5 compound. If you absolutely have no choice but to choose one of the two you mentioned, I'd get the IC2.

AS5 Sucks :lol:

Ofcourse Skinnelabs is down. They did a TIM review. AS5 was middle of the pack
