Description of 🔥 ARCTIC MX-4 (20 g): Premium Thermal Paste for CPU, GPU - PC, PS4, XBOX | High Conductivity, Long-lasting, Safe Application

WELL PROVEN QUALITY: The design of our thermal paste packagings has changed several times, the formula of the composition has remained unchanged, so our MX pastes have stood for high quality. EXCELLENT PERFORMANCE: ARCTIC MX-4 thermal paste is made of carbon microparticles, guaranteeing extremely high thermal conductivity. This ensures that heat from the CPU/GPU is dissipated quickly & efficiently. SAFE APPLICATION: The MX-4 is metal-free and non-electrical conductive which eliminates any risks of causing short circuit, adding more protection to the CPU and VGA cards. HIGH DURABILITY: In contrast to metal and silicon thermal compound, the MX-4 does not compromise over time. Once applied, you do not need to apply it again as it will last at least for 8 years. EASY TO APPLY: With an ideal consistency, the MX-4 is very easy to use, even for beginners.

Type of review

I have purchased over 5 20g tubes of MX-4 thermal compound and this is my thermal compound choice for all the boards I work with. Let me just say, when nothing else is going on, this pasta is great; However I've had shorts failing on several PCBs or graphics cards lately and I've finally found that this is a direct result of this thermal paste being conductive and when you get to the last 20% tubes this is a more liquid substance , which can also contribute to the short circuit factor. I've…

Works great on my Threadripper system!

Haven't seen others use this on the Threadripper but it works great. I used a "heavy blob" in the middle of the "Z" using the IHS method as described by GamersNexus. I already had an Asetek-based AIO cooler and it turned out to be a very effective method of application. I've used AS5 before, but they work great too! Highly recommended!

Pros
  • Brilliantly made
Cons
  • Only available in black

Solid 40 degree drop after re-insertion

I managed to get my hands on an Area 51 worktable (8 years old). I reglued GPU and CPU (i7)/water block. Used X-stripes (administrative template) and got a 40 degree Fahrenheit drop (cpu-z/gpu-z). Using the default clock to install Manjaro even though I have the original installation media. I am very happy with the quality and have always been. If you are thinking of thermals in your system, rest assured that this connection is tested and correct as it provides a safe introduction to…

Pros
  • Sturdy finish
Cons
  • Expensive insurance

Excellent cooling good price

I started using this stuff about a year ago and have seen an improvement of at least 1-2°C over other standard paste solutions. The thickness I feel is just right, not too thick that it barely walks or runs, and not too thin that it just spills all over the place. I've used the MX-4 in laptops, SoC/ARM, desktops - it does its job perfectly. This is my second whistle. I will buy again.

Pros
  • GOLS certified
Cons
  • Something else

Arctic MX-4 proven

Arctic MX-4 is still a top notch thermal compound and will likely remain so for many years to come. I've been using MX-4 for a long time and it doesn't "burn out" like many cheaper thermal compounds. Back when I first started using the MX-2 I used arctic thermal paste as it was a great thermal paste. connections since. Always a good choice for most processors, whether low-end or high-end. I've also used MX-4 on graphics cards with great results.

Pros
  • Great product
Cons
  • Damaged

Wonderful! Thermal paste and seals

Arrived a week before the scheduled delivery date and was pleasantly surprised. What a great product! I used thermal paste for the first time and it was easy to apply. I have great confidence in this paste and am very pleased that my PS3 and Xbox 360 are lasting. I will definitely buy from this seller again.

Pros
  • Delivery was very fast
Cons
  • Disappear

Best of imo on Fans & Cooling

In addition to Cryonaut Thermal Grizzly and EK thermal paste, this is by far the best of my own experience. Ek paste was 36 on bios screen at 3600xt compared to arctic thermal grizzlies 32 it's only 26c and no nothing changed, same settings, spaces are still 74f and yes my grizzly thermal paste was checked using the provided map and review verified as genuine on the website. It cost $10 at a time. More than $20 for 20 grams of legendary artic mx4 paste. I wish I could just settle for mx4 as…

Pros
  • Great construction
Cons
  • Crumpled packaging
