Easy ApplicationThanks to its consistency, MX-4 is easy to apply. The video below demonstrates different application techniques to avoid air pockets between processors and coolers. |
Extraordinary performanceARCTIC MX-4 consists of carbon micro-particles that promote extremely high thermal conductivity. As a result, this ensures fast and efficient heat dissipation from the CPU or GPU. ARCTIC MX-4 is one of the top thermal conductive pastes on the market. |
Safe applicationARCTIC MX-4 is a metal-free and non-electrically conductive paste. Therefore minimizing the risk of short circuits. |
Proven qualityWhile the packaging of our thermal paste has changed several times over the years, the composition of the formula has remained the same. MX pastes have long stood for high performance and quality. |
Because one cannot only rely on the thermal conductivity value of the paste, ARCTIC MX-4 was tested against a broad field of competitors under laboratory conditions. The chart above shows the temperature difference between CPU and cooler base for various competitors. Compared to metal and silicon-based thermal compounds, the MX-4 does not compromise over time.

not as good as advertisedThe company has not given a specification for this product. Only, that this is a super-duper new 2019 year.I accidentally found out that this thermal grease has the smallest coefficient of thermal conductivity and a funny working temperature of 75 degrees.But my problem is that for the customer I processed a hotend for 3D printer with a working temperature of 260 degrees. Now I need to urgently recall the product and redo everything for my money, until he fires the house.

Laptop will pump out after few daysI have a laptop with RTX 2080 and 8750H and I used NT-H1 before, it runs at 95 degree after few week. I repaste with Mx4 and the first 2 days was able to do a good job with average 80 to 85 degrees on CPU with no thermal throttle, however, today when I play the same game, the throttling happens again.The last NT-H1 I found out that there is a pump out effect because the CPU was too smooth to be holding the paste. I am already guessing the pump out effect already happening again with the MX4…. the Rtx-2080 is at low temp tho. which is very very good…
