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

In addition to that, users get three to 2 degrees Celcius lower CPU full load core temperatures. That’s more than standard thermal compounds or thermal pads. That’s the case when measured with a calibrated thermal diode embedded in the CPU core. We must also state that there are many thermal pastes on the market, which have the job of lowering the temperature of your computer by more than a few degrees. Degrees here sound small, but even if you’re not an ardent gamer and enthusiast, you might know that a minor change in temperature can make a world of difference. Ein kleiner Verbesserungsvorschlag wäre die Beigabe eines kleinen Spatels, um die Anwendung noch einfacher zu gestalten. Auch wenn das Auftragen ohne Spatel problemlos funktioniert, würde dieses kleine Werkzeug den Prozess noch komfortabler machen. What’s more, it’s designed to last for eight years. Your CPU will probably need changing before it wears out. It’s not as capable for multiple CPUs, but it will complete two processors and still have leftovers. Along with its better performance, it’s relatively inexpensive and reliable. Thermal Paste: Mini Buying Guide El tamaño del paquete también es notable, con 4 gramos de pasta térmica, que es suficiente para múltiples aplicaciones. Esto es una gran ventaja, ya que significa que la ARCTIC MX-4 no solo ofrece un rendimiento excepcional, sino que también se destaca como una opción económica y de gran valor.

Un tubo de 4Gb nos permitirá la aplicación en múltiples ocasiones o en múltiples equipos, tanto si utilizamos una CPU con IHS como si hacemos direct die/touch cooling. En el primer caso, podríamos cubrir hasta 12-15 CPUs/aplicaciones, en función del tipo de IHS, mientras que en el segundo entre 8 y 12, siendo conservador con la aplicación. The Arctic MX-4 thermal compound paste has enough quality to keep you going for about eight years. As such, it presents a standard. That’s why any thermal paste shouldn’t be installed regularly. Whether you opt for the MX4 thermal paste or some other brand and model, there are certain features to watch out for. To that extent, here are a couple to ease your search for the best paste. Una de las cualidades más sobresalientes de la ARCTIC MX-4 es su impresionante capacidad para proporcionar una transferencia de calor altamente eficiente. Con una conductividad térmica excepcionalmente alta, esta pasta térmica trabaja arduamente para reducir las temperaturas de los componentes más críticos, como la CPU y la GPU. Esto no solo mejora el rendimiento general del sistema, sino que también contribuye a la estabilidad del mismo, lo que es esencial para cualquier usuario que busque un rendimiento óptimo en sus actividades informáticas y de juego. Viscosity and Application: While MX-6 has a higher viscosity compared to MX-4, it has properties that prevent leakage due to the Pump-Out Effect. This ensures consistent performance over time and reduces the risk of the thermal paste “pumping out” from between the CPU/GPU and heatsink due to heat cycling.Among Arctic MX-4, MX-5, and MX-6, the MX-6 is generally considered the better option in terms of thermal performance and features. However, we prefer the lasting power offered by the MX4, and it is often the first consideration of many here. It’s safe and straightforward to apply and install. A thermal paste is a thermally conductive substance sold in fluid form and applied between a CPU and its cooler. When used, it ensures there’s no gap or space between the processor and its cooler.

Thermal Compounds: Arctic produces thermal compounds, also known as thermal pastes, which are used to improve the heat transfer between a CPU or GPU and its heatsink. These compounds fill microscopic gaps between surfaces to enhance thermal conductivity.Thermal Pads: In addition to thermal compounds, Arctic produces thermal pads that can be used in various electronic applications to transfer heat between components and heatsinks.

Most quality thermal compounds are non-electrically conductive. This is important because it prevents accidental electrical connections between the conductive parts of the CPU/GPU and the heatsink, reducing the risk of short circuits. Properly applied thermal compounds can contribute to maintaining lower operating temperatures for CPUs and GPUs. Lower temperatures can lead to improved performance and longevity of these components.I'm not a fan of Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut. The one tube I bought a few years ago was expensive for how much you get, and while it performed well when new, after 6 months temps were shooting up and definitely by a year it needed repasting. They have new formulas now I think, but I still just find their stuff expensive for what it is.
