agreed, the mx-4 is deemed "mediocre" at this stage

Why the downvotes? MX-7 is slightly more expensive and it performs better than MX-4.

Mx6 was impossible to put on. Impossible. Had to return it and get Mx-4.
Newer doesn't always mean better.

Artic Silver 5 was excellent. I'd still put that as #1 in.

Someone said thermal putty was the new best thing instead of pads. Ordered 2 of the best kind on Aliexpress. Made a lousy mess on the GPU thermal caps. Again, newer stuff isnt always the best.

I wouldn't trust PTM on AE or Amazon sellers. Get it from a reputable source

It's perfectly fine. There are AE sellers who's legit. I applied it recently and reduced temp by 5+ degrees compared to mx-4

Correct application and the cooler will make much more difference than MX4 vs MX7.

Been using MX4 for years. Replaced a CPU with 4 years of usage last year. No issues in temp or the paste drying out. Re-Used the same tube as well for a new CPU, running fine for a year.

But honestly the price difference is minimal. Buy a fresh tube of MX7 if you're worried with every install.
