Deal Details
ARCTIC Inc via Amazon has 4-Grams ARCTIC MX-4 Premium Performance Thermal Paste for Processors + Spatula on sale for $5.49. Shipping is free with Prime or on orders $35+.

Thanks to Deal Hunter Rokket for sharing this deal.

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

ARCTIC MX-4 is a budget thermal paste that stands out for easy application and strong cooling performance. The paste is described as very effective, with consistently good thermal results and enough flexibility to work well on a CPU or other components. The included spatula is handy, though the paste can also be applied with a simple spread or even a blob and mount approach. Shelf life after opening is a consideration, and larger tubes make more sense only if you are covering multiple parts. A solid low-cost option for routine repastes.

If you have a Paze eligible credit card and haven't used all the $10 credits yet, you can get a 8g tube of MX-7 from Newegg for 0.99 + Tax

$0.50 more for 8g. Is spatula even that necessary?

I know it's $1.65 more, but the MX-7 has better performance in several areas while still maintaining non-conductivity. You don't get the spatula, but they're not really needed at all. That said, we're still talking under $8.
People can use one of their extra plastic utensil spoons they get with fast food/takeout as a spatula.

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.

Pointless, unless you use a lot of this and test PC parts or something...

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.

To get the best cooling. Put a tiny dab on the head spreader of the proc and rub it in to the surface.

Then put the big dab and put on the sink.

Helps fill in all the surface micro fissures.
