Building my new R7 1800X/Cryorig C7 rig on Tuesday and looking for TIM that works well but won't dry up for many years.
Right now I'm looking at Arctic MX-4, they advertise 8 years without reapplication. Does anyone know the difference between MX4 and MX2?
Or is there anything else I should be looking at that will stand the test of time? I've read people have found at least MX-2 to still be liquified after 6 years. That sounds great to me.
My last build was a Q9450 so I'm out of the loop. Used Artic Silver something back then (in 2009). I do plan on swapping out the mediocre motherboard I bought at some point but would like to default on some TIM meant to last that isn't terrible.
Also looking for something that isn't electrically conductive.
Thanks!
