Product description


High thermal conductivity
The surfaces of processor chips and cooler floors are covered with microscopic dents; ARCTIC‘s MX-4 thermal paste is composed of carbon microparticles which fill these cavities. This leads to extremely high thermal conductivity, ensuring that heat is dissipated quickly and efficiently from the CPU or GPU. With its outstanding performance, the MX-4 is not only an excellent choice for overclockers and enthusiasts, but also for other sapplications that require thermal transmission.

Easy application
Thanks to its consistency, MX-4 is easy to apply, even for beginners. The video in the picture gallery demonstrates the application technique to avoid air pockets between processors and coolers.

Secure usage
In contrast to pastes based on metal oxides or liquid metal, ARCTIC’s MX-4 is metal-free and not electrically conductive. This eliminates the risk of short circuiting, and eliminates the need to worry about corrosion damage to the radiator floor caused by liquid metal.

100 % original through Authenticity Check
To ensure that your paste is genuine, there is the ARCTIC Authenticity Check. This allows every product to be reliably verified. A counterfeit offers neither the performance nor the durability of the original ARCTIC pastes.

Reliable, Easy to Apply, and Great Performance
I’ve used the ARCTIC MX-4 thermal paste for a recent CPU upgrade, and overall, I’m very satisfied with the results. The paste comes in a well-sealed syringe that makes application easy and mess-free. It spreads smoothly without being too runny or too thick, which is especially helpful for first-time users or those reapplying paste during a maintenance cycle.In terms of performance, it significantly improved my CPU temperatures compared to the old paste I replacedâabout a 6â8°C drop under load, which is solid for a mid-range setup. I havenât tested it in extreme overclocking scenarios, but for general gaming and productivity, itâs more than sufficient.One thing I appreciate is that itâs non-conductive, so thereâs less worry about shorting anything if a bit of paste spills near sensitive components. Durability claims are long-term, and while I canât verify longevity yet, the brand has a good reputation in that area.

Amazing Performance at an Unbeatable Price!
I recently purchased the Arctic MX-4 thermal paste, and I must say, it has exceeded my expectations in every way. After applying it to my CPU, I noticed a significant drop in temperatures compared to the pre-applied thermal paste I was using before. The application was straightforward, thanks to its smooth consistency, which made spreading it a breeze.What impressed me most was the value for money. For a product that performs on par with some of the leading brands, the price is incredibly reasonable. I’ve seen temperatures drop by about 10-15 degrees Celsius under load, which is a fantastic improvement for my gaming rig.One of the best features of the MX-4 is that it doesnât dry out over time, ensuring long-lasting performance. I appreciate that it’s non-conductive, so I have peace of mind while applying it. If youâre looking for reliable thermal paste that offers excellent performance without breaking the bank, I highly recommend Arctic MX-4.

The Thermal Paste That Moonlights as a Spa Treatment for CPUs
Ah yes, the ARCTIC MX-4 â the crème de la crème of thermal pastes, or at least that’s what it tells its mirror every morning. Packaged like a syringe full of high-performance dreams, this 4g tube promises to make your CPU so chill, itâll start quoting Zen poetry and demanding herbal tea.Letâs start with the basics: carbon microparticles for âextremely high thermal conductivity.â Translation: itâs like tossing your overheating processor into a snowbank but without the lawsuits. It claims to be non-conductive and safe to apply, which is tech-speak for âeven your clumsiest cousin canât screw this up.â (Probably.)Application? Smooth. So smooth, you might be tempted to moisturize with it. Donât. But seriously â it spreads easier than gossip in a small town and stays put like it just signed a five-year lease on your CPU.Now letâs address the hype: does it work? Yes. CPUs are reporting temperature drops like itâs a competition. One userâs PS3 went from lava flow to gentle breeze. Another claimed it outlasts most Hollywood marriages. Big words. Bigger cooling.But beware: thereâs a newer MX-6 in town, and itâs got better specs on paper â but letâs be honest, MX-4 is the peopleâs champion. Affordable, reliable, and with enough paste for multiple builds (or one spectacular accident).Final verdict: If your processorâs feeling spicy, MX-4 is the culinary cooling wizard it deserves. Apply generously. Bask in the silence. Pretend youâre a tech god.

Great performance, perfect for my Nintendo Switch
Iâve been using the ARCTIC MX-4 thermal paste for a while now, and Iâm really happy with how well itâs worked. I initially bought it for use on my PC, but after reading some positive reviews about using it for other devices, I decided to try it on my Nintendo Switch, which had been running a bit hot after extended gaming sessions.The application process was easy, and the paste went on smoothly without any mess. I was pleasantly surprised at how effective it wasâafter applying the thermal paste, I noticed a significant reduction in heat buildup. My Switch runs much cooler now, even after hours of game play, and Iâve had no issues with throttling or overheating.The MX-4 paste is non-conductive, so I felt confident applying it around the sensitive components, and the thermal conductivity is excellent. I also appreciate that itâs long-lasting; I donât have to worry about reapplying it for a long time.I think the only downside I can think of is that the product came in a pretty beat up cardboard box.Overall, Iâm really impressed with this thermal paste and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a high-quality solution, whether itâs for your PC, laptop, or even consoles like the Nintendo Switch. It worked perfectly for me and has made a noticeable difference in performance.

I got some of this a few months after purchasing a Dell XPS 9570 with 6 core i7. The CPU would hit about 83 Degrees C under high load on all cores and with GPU running hard. After re-pasting the CPU and GPU with this stuff, I no longer hit thermal throttling of any sort. Its a great product and re-pasting took minutes, literally. What I can say is you can take this a step further and add thermal pads to the VRM’s and under-volt (-190mV currently) and the system runs perfectly. Battery life when on light load has doubled, up to 9 hours with 80% screen brightness on “Better Performance” mode in Windows 10. A lot of this comes from the re-pasting with this thermal compound, I was under volting before and couldn’t achieve this level of thermal headroom! Great product, large amount in the tube and frankly you could probably do about 10 laptops with the amount you get.

Ich habe mir die ARCTIC MX-4 zugelegt, um meinen Gaming-PC aufzurüsten, da die Temperaturen meiner CPU in letzter Zeit ziemlich hoch waren. Nach dem Auftragen bin ich von den Ergebnissen wirklich begeistert!Das Auftragen war super einfach – selbst für jemanden, der nicht jeden Tag am PC schraubt, sollte es kein Problem darstellen. Die Konsistenz ist perfekt: nicht zu flüssig, nicht zu zäh. Es lässt sich gleichmäÃig verteilen, ohne dass man Angst haben muss, etwas falsch zu machen.Die Kühlleistung ist beeindruckend. Meine CPU läuft jetzt konstant 8â10 °C kühler als vorher, auch unter Last. Das macht sich besonders beim Gaming bemerkbar: Der Lüfter muss nicht mehr so hoch drehen und der ganze PC läuft deutlich ruhiger.Preis-Leistung ist unschlagbar! Für den Preis bekommt man hier wirklich Premium-Qualität. Die 4g Tube reicht locker für mehrere Anwendungen. Habe gleich die Leitpaste bei meiner Verlobten getauscht und die Tube im Freundeskreis weitergereicht. (kleiner Tipp an dieser Stelle: alte Paste immer zuerst restlos entfernen! Am leichtesten geht es mit einem Mikrofasertuch und etwas Desinfektionsmittel – hier aber nicht übertreiben, es soll danach schlieÃlich trocken sein, bevor man die neue Paste aufträgt)Sicherheit ist wichtig – da die Paste nicht elektrisch leitend ist, muss man sich keine Sorgen um Kurzschlüsse machen.Die Verpackung wirkt hochwertig und der Authenticity Check gibt zusätzliche Sicherheit, dass man auch wirklich das Original bekommt.Fazit: Klare Kaufempfehlung! Ob für Standard-PCs oder Gaming-Rigs – die MX-4 macht ihren Job zuverlässig und effizient. Würde ich jederzeit wieder kaufen.
