Review on πŸ”₯ ARCTIC MX-4 (with Spatula, 8 g) - High-Performance Thermal Paste for CPUs, GPUs - PC, PS4, XBOX- Enhanced Thermal Conductivity, Longevity, Safe Application, Non-Conductive by Eric Dailey

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Good thermal compound for general use

Arctic has always been a good thermal compound for building computers by many enthusiasts over the years. This pasta is no different. For this price you get a lot of paste for attaching multiple coolers to CPUs. However, I didn't know before I bought it that it is NOT recommended for overclocking and that Arctic Silver 5 is Arctic's best overclocking paste. I really think it should be advertised as such which doesn't detract from the quality of this paste as not everyone uses overclocking it's just something people who actually use OC need to know. I don't consider it overclocking to run your CPU within its unlocked clock range as that is the default unlocked frequency, but going beyond your CPU's normal default unlocked capability is OC. I would recommend AS5, Noctua or Kryonaut thermal compound for any real overclock.

Pros
  • EASY TO USE: Thanks to its perfect consistency, MX-4 thermal compound is very easy to apply even for beginners
Cons
  • High price
