Our community has rated this post as helpful. If you agree, why not thank rugs

Way too much for an old formula. Spend a few extra and get the mx 6.

Edit, meant mx 7, mx 6 is better as well, just very gooey and annoying to use if you're pasting a bunch.

I understand why you'd put thermal paste on a processor, but why on a spatula?

This is one of the strangest promoted deals on the site, dozens of likes every time within an hour of post. It's routinely $3 or less somewhere, and as you mentioned MX-6 is a better deal, and even gets down to the same price per gram in larger tubes.

Not sure why this is a deal. You can buy the 8g at $5.99. Also this is outdated paste that should not be used on modern CPU's and definitely not on GPU's.

This would be fine for something like a PS5, but wouldn't use on a current generation CPU.

How much performance improvement for MX-7 over MX-4, just curious? Was it worth the 40% extra premium?

The marketing is bigger number better. The reality is each has a different ideal application due to different viscosity. I buy 4 and 6, and still use MX-2 for some applications, and I only buy 30 g tubes. These 4 g tubes are all overpriced by comparison. Even a light DIYer can use a 8 g or larger tube for a decade if they want. Contrary to whatever AI nonsense pops up, none of it dries out in the tube, or loses performance until heat cycled. I know I have tubes of other assorted brands that are 20 years old now, and still fine. Bottom line, absolutely not worth 40% more for MX-7. DIYers are easy targets for high margin products with relatively low cost.

I came here to say this exact same thing. It's literally only like $3 more or something, maybe less if you shop around.

If you're spending many hundreds, maybe $1,000+ on a build, spend $3 more for the mx7.

This is a site promoted "hot deal" every other week. Ask yourself, why does it need promoted so often?
