ARCTIC MX-4 (incl. Spatula, 4 g) - Premium Performance Thermal Paste for All Processors (CPU, GPU - PC), Very high Thermal Conductivity, Long Durability, Safe Application

Compre esta pasta térmica para mi laptop que ya tenia 1 año y 4 meses sin hacerle mantenimiento.Las temperaturas solían estar entre los 77 y 83 grados cuando jugaba. Y cuando está en modo reposo la temperatura de la gráfica era de 40 grados.Después de que use la Artic MX-4, las temperaturas han bajado un poco (tomando en consideración que mi laptop MSI solo tiene un ventilador)La gráfica en modo reposo está en 35 grados y después de 1 hora y 30 minutos de juego consecutivo, las temperaturas se mantuvieron en 71, 73 y 75 grados.Así que la Artic MX-4 hace su trabajo.

Works as should, needed thermal paste for my pc build and this is a perfect one! It comes with a little spoon you can use for evenly spreading it. My CPU temps before were significantly hot. But now they're nice and chilly. 5/5 stars, would definitely recommend.

Arrived in good conditions scanned the bar code and it was good. I usted it on my n switch time will determine if there is a issue or not

I’m like an old dog with her favorite bone, I still believe the MX-4 is the best thermal paste on the market for the price when dealing with older powered cpus/gpus and overheating issues. I have been using MX-4 for about the past 10+ years. Both formula and performance has not changed throughout the years making it a reliable go-to thermal (knock-on-wood) to depend on. The syringe applicator makes it easy to control the amount & spread when using your fingers to cover the chip. If you don’t trust your fingers or don’t want to get them dirty, a small blue spatula (usually wedged into the bottom of the box) is included for your convenience. Should you make a mess and leak a little, there’s no need to stress since it’s metal free or non-conductive, non-capacitive and won’t cause a short circuit. The paste has a medium viscosity that’s not too thick or thin, but more like creamy peanut butter or nutella. It’s easy to apply and you’ll notice an almost immediate improvement in lower load temperatures and performance that will last for at least 7-8 years. You should be able to get 3-4 applications from the syringe. The stuff is also durable and has a long shelf life of best before date of Jan 2032, so it won’t degrade or go bad anytime soon. If you’re like me, you’ll need to buy another tube for the next time only because you lost/misplaced the open one. LOL! Overall, it does what it’s suppose to do and does it reasonably well. It’s cheap, readily available, has a loyal fan base due to its long lasting effectiveness & cooling performance, and price/performance ratio. German engineered. 5 Stars!

I really like its performance Reduced about 15 degrees from my PC is very good

Great product! Easy to apply, and it works just as expected. Helped reduce my CPU temperatures noticeably. Perfect for builds or maintenance. 5 stars—highly recommended!

I am about a week on the other side of a recent system build. Meaning that the new system has been in service for about a week. Why did I label this an under-appreciated item? Because without it the CPU probably wouldn't have lasted a minute. Ok, the truth is that if one is building on a motherboard built this century, then the board itself is probably smart enough to shut things down before the CPU cooks. But if one has built a system in the past year, then one knows just how difficult it is to get the core components at present. So, yeah, cooking the CPU would have a more profound and less recoverable connotation.Enter, thermal paste. More specifically, enter one of the most recent formulations of thermal paste. I chose this one because it has significantly higher thermal transmission gradient than the best formulations available just a few years ago, and came in at half the price of its next competitor (at the time of purchase). In reality, they are all priced about the same, but many come with half the volume of stuff inside the tube. And suppose one makes a mistake the first time had needs a do-over (that didn't happen to me, but I prepared for it none the less). So, at about $9 for 4 ml; if this were gasoline it would cost over $170K to fill a 20 gal tank! The other guys were selling 2 ml for the same price so thankfully my car doesn't run on this stuff.But not using it can spend about $200 to $20,000 (Intel Xeon and AMD Epyc CPU builds can start touching this magnitude of cash) in less than a minute. So far, I have stressed my system during video rendering and compositing on a few occasions - it's ok, that's what it was built to do. The CPU is factory rated at 90 degrees C - that's almost hot enough to boil water, but that is the factory established LIMIT. Using this paste along with a liquid-cooled thermal management scheme, my CPU has never gone above 61C during any operation to date including the most stressful. The thermal paste is the transmitter between the CPU and the heatsink. So no cooling strategy will be any more efficient than the paste will allow.Another reason for purchasing a tube with extra paste; some builds use more than one CPU, and sometimes there's an options to provide additional cooling to the GPU. M.2 memory tends to run pretty warm and use heatsinks as well. The point being, anytime there's a heatsink, using thermal paste at the junction will enhance the heatsink's ability to cool the component - the better the paste, the more efficient the cooling. And cooler components run faster and smoother. Solid State memory slows down significantly at higher temperatures, it's called throttling for anyone looking at their first build. So I probably used less than 1 ml to install the CPU - it's more art than exact science, but having more left over is helpful if one has numerous heatsinks to treat during the build.This paste emerged from the tube in a predictable manner - which is good considering the cost per ounce. It came with a mini-spatula for spreading. It sort of resembles a pizza peel if one were providing their pet hamster with its own pizza oven, but I digress. Spreading the paste prior to installing the CPU cooler was very easy and controllable. I was able to achieve edge to edge over the CPU without any dripping to the motherboard - nice, neat, mess-free application. There's also a rating for noise level....ok....um...this paste is pretty quiet. (Amazon asks reviewers to rate a few areas that are not necessarily presented in the public review space other than as an aggregate score).My CPU was at 24C (room temperature) when I powered up this afternoon. It is now at 37C and hasn't gone above 43C during this session. That was probably during Windows boot up. It runs typically between 34C and 38C during low demand. I have read some reviews in which folks describe their systems as running nominally ay 70C! (Methinks these are gaming rigs under full load). So, I guess based on all of this, this paste is pretty effective. But it can only be as effective as the rest of the cooling system it supports. At least I can confidently say that it is not likely to be a weak link - and it has a rating for efficacy over 8 years! I would purchase it again - but I wouldn't fill the gas tank with it.

Fast shipping, Good Price, Got just what I ordered.
