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

Community Reviews
ARCTIC MX-4 is a budget thermal paste that is easy to apply and delivers strong cooling performance. The paste is described as effective on CPUs and consoles, with good results from simple spread, blob, or X-pattern application. It is non-conductive, and the included spatula is optional since ordinary plastic utensils can do the job. The main caveat is shelf life after opening, since thermal paste can dry out over time, and higher-end alternatives like MX-7 or PTM7950 are mentioned for better performance or longer-lasting use. It is a solid low-cost option when you want dependable thermal transfer without paying much more.
Common Questions (5)
Yes. It applies easily and delivers very effective cooling performance, with users describing it as a strong, cheap thermal compound for CPUs and other heatsinks.
The 8g tube is the better value if you plan to use paste on more than one component. For a single heatsink, the 4g tube is enough, and the 4g deal can drop to $4.99 if you do not care about the included spatula.
MX-7 is described as having better thermal performance in several areas while still being non-conductive. It costs about $1.65 to $2 more, and the main tradeoff is that it does not include the spatula.
A tiny dab spread into the CPU heat spreader, followed by a larger dab before mounting the heatsink, is recommended to help fill micro-fissures. Another common approach is a simple blob-and-mount method, which is said to produce similar results.
It does have a shelf-life once opened and can dry out over time, though it is not described as separating like some silicone pastes. That makes it best to use within a reasonable period after opening rather than storing it indefinitely.
