Interesting... if I didn't still have like 2 tubes of AS5 somewhere in my attic, I'd grab some Tuniq TX-2 for future purposes

I'm still not convinced that MX-2 is any better than AS5. The performance is close enough to be considered within the margin of error. Frankly, I'll just buy whatever is cheaper when my AS5/ASC runs out (assuming nothing better is out 4 years from now ).

Oh Bleeble, you know you want some of this diamond paste! Bling out your IHS. You know you want to!

 

But I'm with you. If it performs well and is cheap, it's what I'm getting. But I guess we're so used to seeing AS5 dominate that the thought of using a different TIM seems almost taboo...
