Reviews around advertise (5.00 of 5)

  • Bought a 4g syringe a while back and it lasted through 2 AM3+ applications, a reapplication on a 750 Ti as well as on other gpus that needed thermal paste redone
  • Arrived quickly, very easy to apply and works as advertised!
  • I purchased this to use on some older PCs and hardware, as well as
  • This compound is a little thinner, but it works exactly as advertised, maybe better.
  • It seems to cool just as well as AS-5, but not having to worry about the paste squeezing out and touching sensitive components is a major relief

Reviews around quality (5.00 of 5)

  • Bought a 4g syringe a while back and it lasted through 2 AM3+ applications, a reapplication on a 750 Ti as well as on other gpus that needed thermal paste redone
  • I've wanted to replace the thermal paste with some high quality aftermarket stuff like this
  • Good:-Low price (3-4 applications if you are careful)-Great quality, the temperatures between my cores are within a 1-2C difference on idle.-No "curing" or set-in required, the temps are the same as when I first applied the paste
  • , I got temperatures 5 deg C lower than with other paste (which is supposed to be good quality too).
  • I used Arctic Cooling MX-4 for the Intel C2D T7200 on my Fujitsu S6410.The syringe was easy to use and easily applied on CPU, good quality

Reviews around stuff (4.60 of 5)

  • This is currently some of the best stuff on the market.
  • While there is better stuff for a bit more, this does pretty well for overclocking a cpu
  • I wasn't really looking for the absolute best paste out there, but I wasn't looking for cheap stuff either
  • Great stuff here, no need to waste precious time waiting for your thermal compound to set, simply apply it to your CPU heatsink and boot up your machine
  • This stuff is great and most importantly to me non conductive

Reviews around performance (4.59 of 5)

  • Very good performance as equal to Noctua bundled thermal
  • Anyways after using this thermal compound and my Arctic Liquid Freezer 120, my CPU now idling just a few degrees over ambient temperatures and when under load, doesn't really go over 50°C anymore
  • Also the application is very easy as the consistency is just ideal for application on chips.*Great Value With its competitive pricing, the ARCTIC MX-4 is the perfect performance thermal compound on the market.--------------------------------------------Thermal Conductivity W/(mK) 8.5Viscosity(poise)
  • This thermal paste has revived my computer performance again
  • The MX-4 has great cooling performance and can be easily applied!

Reviews around compound (4.44 of 5)

  • Old thermal compound breaks down and causes your CPU and video chips to run hotter.
  • The Arctic MX-4 Thermal Compound is the best for dissipating heat from the CPU
  • This is the best non-conductive thermal compound around
  • The Artic MX-4 is by far the best thermal compound I have used
  • This is some of the best thermal compound for the money.

Reviews around price (4.43 of 5)

  • Works about as well as any similarly priced thermal paste, peace of mind knowing it is not conductive
  • Returning has soon as it comes to last got a different one for a cheaper price
  • Bam, temps lowered to 38-40°C idle, 34°C min, and peaking at 55°C after playing Bioshock Infinite for a few min!
  • Cheap price to pay for your cpu to run few degrees cooler
  • I typically see about 38-44°C idle, and 65-70°C playing Fallout 4.

Reviews around result (4.34 of 5)

  • Accept no imitations, ARCTIC MX=4 is the Best, have used it for years with great results, after using MX-2 before then
  • The results weren't bad but they weren't impressive either
  • used many other thermal pastes in the past with mediocre results
  • Have used it on flashlights and LED chips as well with excellent results
  • I used some generic heatsink compound and the results were thermal throttling and posible CPU damage.

Reviews around system (4.27 of 5)

  • Love this stuff, my 3rd time buying this since I like to clean my pc from time to time (6 months) and install fresh paste on my water block, also build insane gaming systems using this product with great results!
  • Runs cooler and surprisingly I didn't brick or destroy my system in the process.
  • Used it to apply my liquid cooling system to a new processor
  • (Worse)Obviously this didn't make a huge difference in performance, but the fact that my system got WORSE with 3rd party thermal paste is definitely discouraging
  • Processor stays around 36C when used in combination with a liquid cooling system.

  • Dropped my old Phenom II x4's idle temperatures from 51°C with the awful OEM thermal compound to a much more comfortable 38°C with the stock cooler.
  • After this paste one card never gets hotter then 81 C and another which is mounted higher never goes up 88

Reviews around use (3.89 of 5)

  • This is not the best thermal paste I have used, but considering the price, I would highly recommend it
  • Perhaps the best thermal compound I've used from the Cooler Master brand and Artic Silver... this MX-4 works the best.
  • This is one of the best thermal pastes I've ever used in the past 15 years.
  • Replaced my heat sink using this product, and it actually lowered my CPU temperature by almost 10
  • Well, needless to say my radiator had some problems, so I ended up reusing it with the stock heat sink for now, having used whatever the stock thermal paste was before

  • Bought a 4g syringe a while back and it lasted through 2 AM3+ applications, a reapplication on a 750 Ti as well as on other gpus that needed thermal paste redone

Reviews around heat problem (3.30 of 5)

  • If you are having over heating problems do not hesitate to give this a try before doing any more aggressive and potentially damaging mods.
  • I change my thermal paste for my Macbook Pro i7 and now working faster and heat problem is over.
  • !update: i used to fix an iMac 27" and the heat problem was gone, and after that i used to fix my Macbook Pro 13" , late 2011, and its not overheating as before.

Reviews around temp (3.10 of 5)

  • Amazing thermal paste, temps went from 60C to around 20C idle
  • Excellent thermal paste, I will recommend this to anyone specially if you are first time builder as the thermal paste spreads easily, keeps you cpu at good temps and above else is non-conductive
  • This product got my idle temps down 2c and load temps down 10-12c
  • Idle temps are mid to high 20's, load temps are mid 70's to 80ishIve only ever used arctic silver and cooler master thermal paste before
  • A well known brand and keeps my CPU temps nice and cool.

Reviews around celsius (2.54 of 5)

  • You can easily knock a couple Celsius off the stock paste with this, giving you more headroom to overclock
  • and it's now running almost 10 degrees celsius cooler than with pre-applied stock compound
  • (Celsius, sorry, forgot that).I don't recommend that product for overclock'd CPU.
  • After this paste one card never gets hotter then 81 C and another which is mounted higher never goes up 88
  • 7700k sits around 33-50º C with this thermal past and a 212 tower cooler.

Reviews around heat sink (1.96 of 5)

  • so I cleaned my heat sink and Cpu and reapplied maybe 6 or 7 times in different ways
  • This along with my new heat sink keeps my CPU nice and cool!
  • Bought a 4g syringe a while back and it lasted through 2 AM3+ applications, a reapplication on a 750 Ti as well as on other gpus that needed thermal paste redone
  • Used this instead of the compound that came with the heat sink.
  • Great for when you are replacing processors or items that have a heat sink.

Reviews around bite (1.44 of 5)

  • Worked great, and even though the tube is small, a little bit goes a LONG way, so I doubt I'll need to buy more anytime soon
  • I replaced my parsonal gaming machine's paste with this stuff because I saw horror stories related to IC Diamond and sure enough it had worn the top of my cpu die a bit and that is unacceptable.
  • So what happened is that it leaked a little bit in the package and it was fairly difficult to apply it anywhere
  • I hardly notice a difference... it does feel a bit cooler than before, but not as significant as I would have expected
  • and there was still a bit of play with the cooler once I secured it

Reviews around drive (1.00 of 5)

  • core 2 duo, 2MB ram, NVIDIA GeForce Go 7600 and one 100GB 5400rpm hard drive.
  • When I was installing new hard drives in my 5 year old PC, I must've moved the CPU around enough to mess up whatever old thermal paste was still in place and doing its job
  • so I diagnosed & tested out the RAM, Hard drive, watched the device manager until the laptop shut off to see if any hardware had issues by refreshing prior to shutdown
