MX-4 (8 g)

Works very well, just a nice thermal paste tbh, got my temps much lower than they previously were.

PROS: The amount of devices this can be used for can be endless, It's quite easy to apply but when you mess up it leaves quite a big mess so try not to. The paste quality it's self is good it keeps my cpu temps down to the 40-70 degree range, if the cpu maxs out for a long period of time it would be roughly70 degrees. The size could last you a couple of years depending on how offten you use it, it comes with a decent amount of thermal pasteCONS: Can be hard to clean up if you applied too much, you need to know the balance between how much it too much and how much is just enough.OVERALL: I would recommend this thermal paste because it's from a reputable brand that i trust and so do others. 5/5.

Works well. Keeps cpu temperature low. Great product

I have absolutely no idea if using different named thermal paste impacts performance.I do know that it's easily installed. Carefully!Paste quality was perfect consistency for applying to the CPU!Performance is perfect! Temps looking good!

Excellent paste, easy to apply and the 8g size goes a long way.Used to repaste during multiple refits / replacements when repairing a faulty laptop fan that required the entire CPU/GPU heat pipe cooling module to removed each time a new fan was tried.You don't need much! everal re-fittings used no more than half in total.

Keeps CPU temp to less than 70°C on startup and using CPU-Z stress testing. Cinebench 2014 CPU temp is around 70°CMy CPU is AMD Ryzen 7900Previously I had to keep replacing the paste as the CPU temp went over 90°C and often over 100°C

After purchasing a Raspberry PI 4 4Gb, heatsink and accompanying fan, I realised I had run out of my trusty Noctua NT-H1 thermal paste. I initial looked up the NT-H1 and found it was just shy of £14 for 10g (03 JAN 2020) which I felt to be overpriced. Amazon recommend alternatives as it usually does with any search, leading me to stumble on to this product, Artic MX-4.Having not used this product before I did a bit of internet research comparing it to MX-2 (cheaper but apparently harder to clean and spread on a CPU) and NT-H1 respectively. Thus, the MX-2 was ruled out, since I do not have the steadiest of hands when performing DIY or during thermal paste application. Hence, if I needed to remove the paste, I wanted something which was quick and easy to do.The MX-4 was already leading as it was £7.99 for 8g in comparison to the NT-H1, so scoring well in the cost area. As for actual performance there is little in it, both achieve good results in online tests, which I believe are also subjective. As there are so many variables involved in carrying out accurate testing (such as room temperature and how hard the CPU is stressed). None the less I ordered the MX-4, using it on both my Raspberry PI 4 and I7 CPU. I decided to re-paste the I7 whilst I was at it and I have not seen any noticeable temperature differences. So, I consider this the best bang for buck premium thermal paste happily to substitute it for Noctua’s offering.

Brilliant product, my ps4 pro is super quiet now! 100% recommended. So in terms of performance is just day and night,very good.
