    ARCTIC MX-4 - Thermal Compound Paste, Carbon Based High Performance, Heatsink Paste, Thermal Compound CPU for All Coolers, Thermal Interface Material - 4 Grams

    • My processor had been coated for two years or so with standard white silicone heatsink compound, and it gave modest performance
    • Been using it for years with great performance outcomes every time
    • Amazingly easy to apply, and great performance
    • Amazingly easy to apply, and great performance
    • Very good performance as equal to Noctua bundled thermal
    • The MX-4 has great cooling performance and can be easily applied!
    • Good performance as expected.
    • Huge tube, easy to apply, awesome longevity(the reason i bought it), with solid performance to boot
    • Best of the best performance....
    • There are some better performing coolers - but the price-application ease-performance ratios of this product can't be beaten.
    • This thermal paste has revived my computer performance again
    • 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)
    • CPU performance is noticeably improved.
    • As far as performance, it is about 2-4 degrees hotter at idle and about 3 degrees hotter at gaming load than my old Xigmatek PTI-G4512 that this was replacing
    • Good performance
    • Excelent performance, better than my previous favorite Arctic Silver 5!AS5 required a break-in period, this new MX-2 does not and gives you the best thermal performance since the moment you apply it.
    • Good performance, but, I seemed in performance equal to other competitors
    • Plenty left and the performance is ridiculously good
    • Excellent product and performance...
    • Easy to handle and top performance.
    • Good thermal performance
    • All in all it's a good performance compound.
    • Performance is excellent, at these prices there is no excuse to go with less.
    • I looked up details about thermal compounds and chose this one because it was widely used and known for its ease of application, safety (not conductive, won't ruin parts if you apply incorrectly), and solid performance.
    • This paste is just not as good as AS5
    • Works as it's suppose to
    • Works as it says
    • 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
    • Works as it should for a good price.
    • Works as it should.
    • It worked as it was supposed to.
    • 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
    • I purchased this to use on some older PCs and hardware, as well as
    • I have to say it certainly worked as my PC is no longer overheating--and I'm pretty confident about that since it has been consistently fine for about a year now.
    • Ordered this, works as it should and got my cpu temps back down to normal.
    • Works as it should with a good price!
    • HUGE improvement (12-15*C) over the stock paste that came on the stock cpu heatsink
    • 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
    • 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.
    • I typically see about 38-44°C idle, and 65-70°C playing Fallout 4.
    • After this paste one card never gets hotter then 81 C and another which is mounted higher never goes up 88
    • Bam, temps lowered to 38-40°C idle, 34°C min, and peaking at 55°C after playing Bioshock Infinite for a few min!
    • 7700k sits around 33-50º C with this thermal past and a 212 tower cooler.
    • Under full load, this grease was able to keep the same CPU at a respectable 62 C after half an hour of stress testing.
