ARCTIC MX-4 (4 g) - Premium Performance Thermal Paste for all processors (CPU, GPU - PC, PS4, XBOX), very high thermal conductivity, long durability, safe application, non-conductive, non-capacitive

Product Information

The system is then run through 2x 15 minute Prime 95 tests. The average of the two is used as the final temperature. All temperatures are recorded in Celsius using CoreTemp. The Kryonaut thermal paste is a mildly viscous thermal compound with good stability, making it simple to work with and use. It is one of Thermal Grizzly’s answers to consumers that need reliable, high-quality, and inexpensive ceramic thermal grease. The brand has built a strong reputation from the onset for producing quality products, and thus thermal paste offers a consistent benchmark that beats its competitors. That’s why it’s an excellent choice for a variety of users. Design: Proven Quality

MX-4 | Premium Performance Thermal Paste | ARCTIC

In that regard, you have to replace or apply new thermal pastes on the devices you buy and have those replaced after a couple of years. If you don’t do that, prepare for another wave of overheating. If you’re familiar with the Arctic brand, the Arctic MX4 thermal compound should also ring a bell. The MX-4 doesn’t need any introduction as one of the foremost thermal pastes the world over. Warning: Undefined array key "height" in /var/www/vhosts/custompcreview.com/public_html/wp-includes/media.php on line 1386 A normal GPU already has a thermal paste applied, but this will last for a while. And if your PC has been on the shelf for several years, the thermal paste would have gone to nothing by wearing out.

Application of the past also matters. The wrong technique could affect your CPU. Note that for installation, the Kryonaut and MX4 are simple to apply. We noted that the Kryonaut thermal paste does not dry out even at 80 C. It will deal with the loudness of your equipment and improve the comfort of use.

MX4: Which Thermal Paste Comes on Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut vs MX4: Which Thermal Paste Comes on

Now we know you need a thermal paste every couple of years. But the hard part is getting the best to work with or deciding which one to choose from. That’s no small feat considering the vast amount of brands and models to choose from.Today we’re going to do a thermal paste review and the thermal paste is going to be Arctic Cooling’s newest MX-4 thermal paste. This is the newest iteration of Arctic Cooling’s famous metal-free, non-electrically conductive, high performance thermal paste so in a nutshell, it should be pretty damn good and 100% safe to use as well even if you do manage to screw up or apply too much. We will also be comparing it with a couple other thermal pastes. Anyway, a little eye candy for you guys before we get into the numbers. It’s never easy to make a thermal paste comparison whenever two quality products are on display, especially from established brands. But we made a couple of distinctions between these two. Viscosity and Ease of Installation

The ARCTIC MX-4 does not contain any metal; thus, it does not impose the risk of shorting your system. Also, it’s common knowledge that thermal pastes don’t age well. For this reason, many people squeeze and use them, throw what’s left of the tube, and paste away. However, the main thing is what happens after applying the paste. The Kryonaut is great, but it’s more expensive and doesn’t offer much else to suggest it’s better than its counterpart.The ARCTIC MX-4 uses carbon microparticles as a medium to transfer heat from the processor to the heatsink; thus, it has a high thermal conductivity. Unlike other thermal pastes such as liquid metal, the MX-4 is metal-free and not electrically conductive. Therefore, it does not impose the risk of shorting out your system.

Artic Cooling MX-4 Thermal paste shelf life? Life span? Artic Cooling MX-4 Thermal paste shelf life? Life span?

Thermal pastes should not be reapplied more than once every few years, at least that’s what Intel is telling us. Enthusiasts recommend replacing it once every year, however. To add to its superior thermal performance, the ARCTIC MX-4 has better longevity, too. ARCTIC promises that the MX-4 can last up to 8 years without getting dried up. This is impressive to accomplish because most people will have new PCs by then. The ARCTIC MX-4 is available in many size variants: 2 / 4 / 8 / 20 / 45 grams. The material and mixture of a thermal paste is important because it dictates its cooling properties.Thermal Grizzly’s products have enough quality and are more expensive than the competition. The Kryonaut simply performs better with unique features that make it stand out. Conductivity: Very High and Easy to use The thermal performance of a compound is most often not stated by the manufacturer, rather they let the professional benchmarks do the talking for them. With that said, the ARCTIC MX-4 performs quite nicely at 36.9 degrees Celsius for an air-cooled CPU. Moreover, on the GPU side of things, it produces an average temperature of 67.5 degrees Celsius. These temperatures can be considered impressive since it is among one of the bests. Note** Arctic Silver 5 recommends ~200+ hour curing time. Unfortunately due to time constraints that did not happen. In addition, the MX4’s performance is rated to last over a long time. It comes in a 0.64-ounce tube designed to produce enough thermal paste for many applications.
