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.
MX-4 can be easy to apply and may deliver very effective cooling performance.
MX-4 application can help fill surface micro-fissures when a tiny dab is rubbed in before mounting.
MX-4 can be used with a blob-and-smash approach while still achieving similar end results.
MX-4 may be a practical choice for older consoles if repasting helps extend performance for years.
MX-4 performance claims can depend on application claims that may not match technique sensitivity expectations.
MX-4 can have shelf-life limitations after opening and may dry out over time.
MX-4 may require frequent reapplication because pump-out or degradation can occur.
MX-4 may be less attractive if you do not need the included spatula, since pricing can drop without it.

Arctic must have several tons of this mx-4 since they keep playing sd to fp this.
If you're upgrading in this era of $800 mc 98003dx combos, you should get the better thermal performance of the mx-7 for a mere $2 more.

You'll be reapplying this every six months or so, because of pump out or degradation.
PTM7950 is number one. Apply once and don't worry for years. Designed for industrial applications.
MX-6 is supposedly much better than MX-4.

Then put the big dab and put on the sink.
Helps fill in all the surface micro fissures.
