|---|---|---|---|
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.

got it just in caseand it came in handy. I used it when I swapped my heatsink on my PC, I originally thought it was 5g but the syringe says it’s 4g. Easy to apply, but very easy to lose it, it took me quite some time to locate it. I didn’t notice a drastic drop in prices even with a new and stronger heatsink.

2019 ProductThe box said 2019 on it – hopefully it doesn’t affect the quality. I used it on my Xbox one, seemed to be ok. It didn’t fix my issue of shutting off randomly however, I think it’s a software issue of warzone; it’s the only game that does it.

It’s great pasteIt’s pretty good stuff. It dropped my temp only about 3 degrees. Come in a clean and neat ziploc style bag with company logo and whatnot. Only reason I only give 4 star is because on your first use, be careful. I took the cap off and it came oozing out a bit. Syringe maybe got pressed during transit or something. Other then that great product.

Excellent paste in a fragile syringeAfter replacing the crusty OEM thermal paste in my laptop, I dropped about 10C off idling temperature right away. So at the very least, we can say this is significantly better than OEM pastes. However I do have a gripe with this product and it’s the syringe it comes in, it is VERY fragile, I dropped it when I was trying to open the tear-open packaging, the syringe dropped onto the ground and the nozzle just snapped clean off. While I am still able to apply the paste with the residue nub, perhaps a more flexible material can be used for the syringe in the future.

Great for the priceOrdered mine for use with my PS3. Seems to get the job done, certainly feels like the fans are running quieter since the chips don’t get as hot. Great value for the money, I even have some left for future repairs.FYI Mine came in different packaging from what was pictured, (in like a plastic bag) and didn’t come with the little spatula. Still the same product on the inside though. Not sure why that happened but it seems like I’m not the only one judging by the other reviews.

Excellent produitSi vous travaillez sur un petit projet et qu’il ne vous faut qu’une petite quantité de pâte thermique, ce produit est exactement ce qu’il vous faut. Il est livré dans un emballage très minimaliste et il faut noter que le prix n’est pas des plus avantageux par rapport aux gros contenants sur le marché. Par contre, si vous ne voulez pas en gaspiller, ce format est idéal. De plus, le petit embout de la syringe permet une application très précise de la pâte thermique. Très satisfait des résultats obtenus!

Cools CPU and GPU but one problem..These are excellent paste by Arctic but unfortunately, placing big sticker saying, “win 1000 USD every month!” is just to get people to buy their products which isn’t good idea when no one actually wins from it. I think it’s fake but the paste cools my CPU and GPU alot better now. I recommend these but avoid buying the ones with win these “gimmicky” contests stickers or labels in the front.
