Review on ARCTIC MX 4 2019 Performance Durability Computer Components for Internal Components by Chris Owens

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Temperature on computer components

It's day and night. I built my computer 3 years ago and to be honest I had no idea how valuable thermal paste is. My CPU is overclocked but I have an AIO so the temporary underload was in the 40s. I feel comfortable with that. A few weeks ago I noticed they were creeping up to 50 and then mid 50's. At first I thought the AIO was biting dust, but I checked it out and it was fine. After some superficial Googling I realized my mistake. That's why I bought this product together with Naktuna degreasing wipes. It took me about 5 minutes to disassemble the monoblock, wipe off the old coarse thermal paste, reapply and reassemble. I immediately put it under load, the temperature under load was 8-10 lower. It's amazing how well this product works. At the same time, most thermal greases have a break in work, they say that this is not very long, and I believe them. I didn't expect to see results for at least 50 hours. But the pace is good and cool.

Pros
  • Fan and cooling
Cons
  • Negative is present
