ARCTIC MX-4 (8 g) - Premium Performance Thermal Paste for All Processors (CPU, GPU - PC), Very high Thermal Conductivity, Long Durability, Safe Application, Non-Conductive

This is a pretty good thermal paste to have. It does have a good connection between the cooler and GPU/CPU. In terms of amount, you get a good amount to apply several different times. It does have a cap so you can cap it to prevent it from leaking. My only minor complaint is that it does not really stop applying even when you stop pressing the syringe. I have to tilt it upward to stop it. If I do not, then it just slowly leaks out. I wish there was some kind of spatula spreader with this to avoid waste and make it easier to spread the thermal paste. I actually just make due with the side of a q-tip. The paste spreads pretty evenly and does not create a mess. It does a good job with reducing the heat on my laptop gpu and cpu after I replaced the dried out old one. It actually improved the performance significantly. The cap provides a pretty good seal and you get a good amount of thermal paste. Overall this is a good performance thermal paste that does a great job with bridging the heatsink with the fan. It applies well and does not spill over or anything. It reduced the heat. The only thing is that I wish it did not continue to pour out even when I do not press the syringe. It is nice that there is a cap. Also I wish there was at least a spatula to help with application.

OK SO I juts built 2 new Ryzen 9 3900X systems that I want air cooled becasue I don't want to fuss with water. I bought a Noctura NH-U14S and added a second fan to optimize cooling. I used the supplied paste and the temps were great, never going over 76C with all cores at 4.1GHz for over 15 mi. I wanted to try some other pastes and was looking at TG Kryo, but saw that as temps get to 80C it breaks down and then I as look deeper into the Noctura paste and saw that it would likely need replacing in ~3 years. Well my old server is running Artic Ceramique for over 5 years without any issues or change sin temps. Years ago I used Artic Silver then Artic Ceramique and decided I wanted a once and done application without having to worry about when I might need to reapply. I did both my server and my new workstation, both Ryzen 9 3900X same Noctura HSF. Well as good as many think the Noctura paste is MX4 is actually giving me a tad better results. Keep in mind nether system location is very cool, server ambient is around 76-79F(24.5-26C) and my workstations is often 74-76F(23.3-24.5) and with all cores at 4.1GHz over 30 min. the server never got above 167F(75C) and the workstation never got above 162F(72C) well within the limits of 95C for the CPU. Whiel many benchmarks say the MX4 is abotu neck and neck with the Noctura paste I actually am seeing 1-3C advantage on the Artic MX4. And the MX4 shoudl last 8 years without m having to reapply. This is really some excellent stuff. Also when I pulled the HSF the Noctura paste had 100% coverage so the application was fine. I did try a modified 5 dot method on the Ryzen 9. I did doe a small dot over where each CPU die is and the IO die then a smaller dot in center and 1 in from each corner assuring good coverage and especially where it matters, over the dies. Forget worrying about what benchmarks say, this stuff has been around a long time and works well and all Artic pastes have been excellent products. As long as you are well within the thermal limits of CPU go for an economical paste that will last and MX4 is it!

Used this on my ps4. Cleaned the dirt/dust out and applied fresh paste with the console running smooth and much more quite now. It was well over due.

This is still one of the best thermal grease on the market.

Bought this for my son for his gaming PC. he liked it. Worth the price

It's a little thick, had to apply it a second time after having some hot spots, but overall a great paste with fast shipping, and I have plenty left for my next projects temps are stable and much cooler than before

Arctic makes the best thermal paste. This is a no-brainer. I prefer air cooling my 13900k, and I notice stable temps during 4k gaming.

Tldr; works great and haven't had any issues in months since I bought it. Longer version; I bought a pre built PC and while setting it up noticed the CPU was running hothothot. Like 99+ degrees Celsius. I found the CPU fan was a little crooked and didn't sit well on the CPU and when I removed it, I also noticed there was barely any thermal paste applied 😮‍💨 I bought a cheap CPU fan and this thermal paste, applied as directed and haven't had a single issue. If I recall the numbers correctly.. Old CPU fan and paste PC running standby 60°C - 70°C PC running a game 95°C+ New (cheap) CPU fan and this paste PC running standby 35°C - 45°C PC running a game 50°C - 80°C

PACKAGING: Il pacco è arrivato intatto e nel giorno previsto. La pasta termica presenta un packaging semplice composto unicamente da una scatolina di carta con sopra informazioni superflue, il tubetto di pasta termica in plastica con il relativo tappino ed una apprezzatissima spatolina per stendere uniformemente il prodotto sulla CPU. CARATTERISTICHE: Spiego subito perché ho deciso di dare 5 stelle: la pasta termica ha delle prestazioni eccellenti (le temperature che riuscirà a garantire sono coerenti con i test trovabili sul web) e soprattuto non necessità di essere cambiata spesso, io personalmente consiglio una volta ogni 18 mesi circa. L’applicazione è semplice grazie alla fluidità della pasta termica (che si mantiene molto bene nel tempo grazie al tubetto di ottima qualità) ed alla piccola spatola in plastica. Personalmente consiglio di stendere la pasta in uno dei due modi seguenti a seconda del vostro tipo di CPU: 1. Se avete una CPU quadrata: ponete una piccola quantità di pasta termica sulla CPU (circa un chicco di riso) e lasciate che si stenda autonomamente all’appoggio del dissipatore. 2. Se avete una CPU rettangolare: ponete una striscia di pasta termica (circa del diametro di un chicco di riso) nel centro della CPU in modo che abbia la stessa direzione del lato più lungo di quest’ultima e scegliete voi come stendere la pasta termica a seconda di come ritenete meglio. PRO✅: ◾contenuto del packaging ◾conservabilità ◾prestazioni ◾durabilità CONTRO❌: ◾essendo 5 stelle, non ci sono contro! :) CONCLUSIONI: In conclusione posso affermare che per qualsiasi utilizzo che voi facciate/farete della vostra CPU, ritengo questa pasta termica una delle migliori scelte sul mercato se non la migliore! P.S. Se la recensione vi è stata utile, lasciate un feedback ;)

Muito boa, chegou rápido

Good, reliable thermal paste that lasts long. Nothing fancy, but definitely better than stock paste. If you can spend a bit more, go for the MX-6. Applied to my 2yr old Vivobook, 5-10 degree drop on average temp.

Replaced my PS4 thermal paste. The thing is running like a baby now. No super loud fans anymore!
