About this item:
  • 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

Yeah, it's still considered a very good thermal paste brand. I know it's more expensive at $7.35, but the MX-7 has better performance in several areas while still maintaining non-conductivity. You don't get the spatula though, but it's really not needed.

I have a PC I need to fire up that's been out of use for probably over a decade and likely needs it's Arctic silver from that time replaced. Are people still happy with their current stuff?

I wonder if Amazon sells it in bulk or as a monthly subscription 🤣. I think I use shoe polish more often than thermal paste relevant for CPU/thermal cooling install.

Lot of people out there holding onto older tech equipment since prices have increased. Lot of refurbing and maintenance going on.

Try Arctic Ice, which is a beer.

Totally agree with the mx-7 recommendation.

When you're building a system with $400-500 tied up in CPU and MB, you definitely should spend these few bucks more on the mx-7.

Why the mx-4 is a hot deal once or twice a month for $3 off, I can't imagine. They must have excess inventory they need to promote to get rid of.

MX-7, $8.59, sold by Arctic, shipped from Amazon; https://a.co/d/08twpZp0

I buy the smallest size available just for this reason. Just enough for two or three tries for a processor install.

Glad I bought myself 3x when they went on sale for $2.87 each on Amazon this past May.

So how tough is it compared to MX-6? I'm referring to its malleability factor.

Not shocking stuff like this is on sale. Who can afford to do a fresh PC build with memory prices through the roof.

MX-7 is slightly less viscous than MX-6, so it will be "easier to work with". That said, you really shouldn't be working with either of these. It's not really recommended to spread them across the CPU with something and then clamp the cooler over it. You should be just squeezing some out in your preferred pattern (dots, Xs, Xs & dots, one blob) and clamp the cooler over that. The clamping force will spread this out across the CPU.
