![]() I’ve used this for my last 3 PC’s and on my 4th I finally decided to do a bit of testing to see how good it actually was.Currently I have a Ryzen 7 3700X cooled by a Coolermaster AiO cooler,I ran the pre-applied thermal compound from the cooler for about a week of gaming/editing and found my average working temps to be 65☌, with idle being 51☌ and under load tests I would peak at 98☌.After removing, cleaning, and reapplying with this Arctic compound my average dropped to 52☌, with idle being 38☌ and peak load during prime95 getting to 87☌.Most of the fluctuation is likely due to how slowly the AiO responds to quick changes in temperature, but with my average being lower I can’t say much bad about this product.Now the coolermaster on the other hand, that’s a tale for another review. Great replacement for any stock/included thermal compound. If you can point us in the right direction. Something wrong with this post? Thanks for letting us know. I will highly recommend them since I was “not” disappointed. It even has a spatula □ though I recommend a pea size for a square application and a line for a rectangular applicationDue to the thermal issue, my laptop was heating up to 100C on the CPU which resulted in throttling however, my laptop is very quiet and temperature went down to 56C averaging around 60C and I am highly satisfied. ![]() The box was sealed and this version has enough for multiple applications. Artic MX-4 was one of them that was cost effective while also being non-conductive just in case I made a mistake and spread it too much and went on the circuit.The product was new (box based) and actually passed the QR (Scan and Win one) test where Arctic can tell you whether the product was a fake or not. The stock version that comes from OEM is not really good enough in my opinion and I wanted one of the best ones out there. Arctics MX-4 thermal compound has proven itself well in the DIY space, but its been around for quite some time and seemingly, like everything in tech, in need of an update. Cost effective and does the job.I was highly skeptical of getting a thermal compound from this company due to all the fake and forgeries out there however, after my laptop had a replacement of a part, the thermal solution needed replacement it badly needed one.
