Performance-Optimized Consistency The MX-7 is a relatively viscous thermal paste that cannot be applied with a spatula; instead, it spreads evenly and without air pockets due to the pressure exerted by the heatsink. No Pump-Out Effect High cohesion prevents cracking or leakage, even during repeated thermal cycles with high thermal stress. Easy Cross-Pattern Application Simply apply MX-7 ina cross-pattern. The pressure exerted by the heatsink spreads the paste evenly across the entire surface, ensuring complete coverage and easy handling. Perfect Layer Distribution During installation, the heatsink spreads the thermal paste evenly across the entire contact surface. This creates a thin, homogeneous layer completely free of air pockets.
