Its metal-free, non-electrically conductive formula ensures safe application without risk of short circuits or corrosion. Designed for universal CPU and GPU compatibility, MX-4 offers easy, mess-free application with a precision spatula and includes an authenticity check to guarantee genuine quality. Trusted by over 11,000 users with a 4.8-star rating, it’s the go-to solution for professionals and enthusiasts seeking reliable, long-lasting thermal performance. ## Description ARCTIC, a leading manufacturer of PC coolers and components, initiated and continues to shape the trend towards quiet cooling systems. 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. 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. 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. 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.

When you remove the heatsink from the CPU, you try to twist them apart, going sideways and never pull the heatsink up off the CPU. That procedure usually works but I actually pulled the CPU out of its socket after several attempts to twist it off. Luckily, it was an Intel CPU and not an AMD CPU, which uses pins. I examined the old thermal paste. It had the consistency of clay. The PC was purchased in 2003 and so the thermal paste was almost 20 years old. The IBM PC’s MOBO had only died recently and I wanted the Intel P4 2.4 GHz as a spare part in case I needed it as well as the CPU cooler. I had another PC I assembled from cannibalized parts from 3 legacy PCs and while it was easy to remove the this CPU cooler (heatsink+fan) from the CPU, that was because the thermal paste was completely solid, or dried out. Arctic MX-4 claims 8-year durability and is nonconductive. Use the pentadot method for applying. There are YouTube videos to aid you. **Q: would the x5 be a better choice?** A: It depends on your application, I've been using MX5 for years and have great results, MX5 Silver is probably only a degree or two cooler than MX4, but MX5 is a conductive product and you need to be careful with application. MX4 is a recommended set it and forget it product with no risk to your components as it is not electrically conductive. With MX5 I replace it every year when I do my annual dusting of the system, and that requires removal of the CPU cooler. With MX4, its more for low maintenance people who probably will only clean the dust out of their system every few years with a commercial grade leaf blower instead of doing a complete professional tear down cleaning. **Q: cada cuanto se le cambia la pasta termica a un procesador de PC? Ej: Ryzen 5 5600x** A: Segun la Informacion oficial esta dura 8 años sin que sus propiedades de conductividad cambien, pero creo que es saludable cambiar la pasta térmica cada vez que separas el disipador del procesador. **Q: What is the thermal conductivity of this paste?** A: This paste is good dont worry ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ High quality thermal paste. *by on Reviewed in the United States June 8, 2026* Nothing particularly special about this over other similarly priced pastes, but this does the job and it does it well. I've replaced my CPUs thermal paste along with two GPU thermal pastes and they work just fine and I have no issues with temps. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great product, look no further! *by on Reviewed in the United States June 5, 2026* Worked absolutely fantastic for my Dell G5 5590! It was easy to apply and finally stopped it from thermal throttling. Unfortunately the PC was genuinely crap and I gave it to my brother afterwards but that's another story. I think this is probably the best stuff you could buy without dealing with the hassle of PTM 7950. The spatula was also a nice addition. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great thermal paste with a useful spatula *by on Reviewed in the United States September 12, 2025* I’ve used a few thermal pastes before, but this one is by far the easiest to apply. The paste spreads smoothly and evenly, and the little spatula that comes with it is a huge plus — no mess, no waste, and the job feels much cleaner. My PC is running cooler and more stable now. Simple, effective, and very well thought out. Highly recommend! ## Frequently Bought Together - ARCTIC MX-4 (incl.
