ARCTIC MX-7 2g Thermal Compound - CPU & GPU Paste
The ARCTIC MX-7 is a carbon-based thermal compound for CPUs, GPUs, laptops and console processors that delivers maximum heat transfer without requiring a break-in period. Its high-cohesion, non-drying formula resists pump-out and maintains consistent performance across a wide operating range, even under repeated thermal stress and overclocking.
Why this product
No burn-in period required
It reaches full thermal performance immediately after application, unlike compounds that need thermal cycling to settle.
Non-conductive and non-capacitive
Safe to apply near PCB traces and SMD components without risk of short circuits or electrical discharge.
Resists pump-out and drying
High cohesion and viscosity prevent leakage and cracking even during repeated thermal cycles with high stress.
Wide temperature range
Operates from −50°C to 250°C, broader than the MX-6, making it suitable for extreme overclocking and sustained high-load scenarios.
Simple cross-pattern application
Dense consistency spreads evenly under cooler pressure alone—no spatula needed. The cooler distributes it into a thin, uniform layer with no air pockets.
- Capacity2 g

- SKUARC-3479
- EAN4895265000867
- Works with CPU coolers, GPU coolers, laptop coolers, and console processor coolers.
- Compatible with direct-touch heat pipes and coolers with grooved contact surfaces.
- Safe on all PCB layouts and around SMD components due to non-conductive, non-capacitive composition.
Best for
- High-performance and overclocking builds
- Systems requiring long-term thermal stability
- Multiple builds or system refreshes
- Environments with extreme temperature swings
Trade-offs
- Cannot be spread with a spatula — requires cooler pressure alone to distribute evenly, limiting application flexibility for manual layering.
- Users who prefer low-viscosity pastes that can be worked manually across the die.
The MX-7 is characterized by a dense, viscous Consistency resulting from a high filler content, which delivers optimal thermal performance. Due to its special texture, the paste cannot be spread with a spatula.
The high cohesion ensures a stable composition and guarantees long-lasting, consistent performance without drying out. The low adhesion allows for optimal distribution into a fine bond line and ensures maximum heat transfer. High cohesion prevents cracks or leakage even during repeated thermal cycles with high thermal stress.
Apply MX-7 in a simple cross pattern. The contact pressure of the cooler spreads the paste evenly across the entire surface, ensuring complete coverage and easy handling.
When mounted, the cooler distributes the thermal paste evenly across the entire contact surface, creating a thin, uniform layer without air pockets. MX-7 is suitable for CPUs, GPUs, laptops, console processors, and more.
It is non-capacitive and electrically non-conductive, ensuring excellent performance without any risk of short circuits or electrical discharge.
MX Cleaner removes old thermal paste without leaving any residue and thoroughly cleans the contact surfaces. Also available as a practical bundle with MX-7.
For bulk orders, we offer OEM options such as delivery without retail packaging, custom formats, and fully customized solutions.
Watch our video demonstration to see how simple it is to apply MX-7 evently and effectively. After applying enough paste, tilt the syringe to prevent stringing. Too much paste? Just wipe it off, as MX-7 is non-conductive and can't cause short circuits.
Even for coolers with direct-touch heat pipes, we recommend applying the paste in a cross pattern, so that it reliably fills even the smallest grooves.
