Easy ApplicationThanks to its consistency, MX-4 is easy to apply, even for beginners. The video in the picture gallery demonstrates different application techniques to avoid air pockets between processors and coolers. |
Extraordinary performanceARCTIC MX-4 consists of carbon micro-particles which promises extremely high thermal conductivity. This ensures fast and efficient heat dissipation from the CPU or GPU. With its outstanding performance, the 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. This minimises the risk of short circuits and offers perfect protection for your computer. Application is also very easy as the consistency is ideal for use on chips. |
Proven qualityWhile the packaging of our thermal paste has changed several times over the years, the composition of the formula has remained the same. Our MX pastes have long stood for high performance and quality. |
Since the mere thermal conductivity value cannot provide any information about the actual performance, we put our MX-4 thermal grease up against a broad field of competitors under laboratory conditions. The temperature difference between CPU and cooler base was measured.

Didn’t see much difference in tempsMy MBP 15″ 2015 still cranks up the fan when I’m exporting audio files from garageband but it did make some difference because I think my original paste from apple was too old though it was still not dry. I’m not sure if I should have applied more , but the difference in cooling was as great as I was expecting. It’s still better than stock paste. but is it a “wow!!” nope. Maybe I should have tried that grizzly bear thing, maybe I’ll get that next time.

Skuzzy –
Doesn’t last as long as it claims.The package claims the paste lasts up to 8 yuears, which is a pretty silly claim to make anyway but I found my CPU hitting horrifying temperatures after a year. I checked the TP and most of it was gone — after only 9 months of usage.
