ARCTICMX-4 (4 g) - Premium Performance Thermal Paste for All Processors (CPU, GPU - PC), Very high Thermal Conductivity, Long Durability, Safe Application, Non-Conductive

I recently used Arctic MX-4 to repaste my Alienware m16 R2, and overall, I’m satisfied with the results. The application process was smooth — the paste spreads easily and doesn’t require much pressure, which made it user-friendly for a clean install on both the CPU and GPU dies.Performance-wise, I saw an immediate improvement in idle and load temps. Before the repaste, I was seeing idle temps around the high 50s to low 60s (in a warm room), and under load, temps would spike past 90°C pretty quickly. After applying MX-4, idle temps dropped to the mid 40s to low 50s depending on the fan profile, and load temps during gaming and light stress tests stabilized in the 80–85°C range with a few peaks under extreme loads, but nothing alarming.Fan noise also improved slightly due to reduced thermal load. It’s not a miracle paste, but for a non-conductive and affordable option, MX-4 holds its own. It’s especially ideal for users repasting a laptop like the m16 R2 where you want thermal reliability without risking electrical conductivity near VRMs or other tight board layouts.Final verdict: Arctic MX-4 is a solid choice for the Alienware m16 R2. Not the absolute best if you’re chasing top-tier benchmarks, but for everyday gaming and heavy use, it offers great thermal performance with low risk and easy application.

Essentially the best and only option.As I reassembled my CPU, I went to grab my usual tube of Artic Thermal paste, but alas. As I squeezed, there was none left.As I stood in shock elbow deep in my PC mid surgery, I quickly used my messenger pigeon to go order another tube of this 5 star quality Artic thermal paste.Only mere moments later, I was gifted another tube to then only have to use only a pea sized drop from a fresh new tube. Truly a godsend, finally relieved I finished assembling my PC. Now I can sleep peacefully at night knowing Artic’s thermal paste is cuddling my CPU keeping it cool and fresh.Thanks Artic you beautiful beautiful company.

Excellent thermal compound! The ARCTIC MX-4 (4g) is a high-performance, easy-to-apply paste that significantly improves heat transfer for CPUs and GPUs. It spreads smoothly and provides reliable cooling, helping keep my components running cooler and quieter. Great quality and value for any DIY PC builder or upgrader. Highly recommended!

There's a reason this ARCTIC MX-4 thermal paste has such a high rating and so many positive reviews – it simply works perfectly every single time. I've used it for various PC builds and applications, and it has consistently delivered excellent thermal performance. If you're looking for a reliable and effective thermal paste that you can count on, this is definitely a top contender.

Works pretty good so far lowered my temps by 15C!

La mejor pasta térmica que puedes comprar para ponerla en el procesador de PS4 (PlayStation 4) la compré y me llegó al día siguiente. Gracias al cambio de pasta de térmica mi PS4 dejó de sonar como un cohete a punto de despegar 😁😁

While this is not the new heat sink paste available, this product works very well. It has that silverly look of the original Artic Silver. I actually like it better than the newer stuff.

Used this on a older i7 cpu. Brought operation temps down thus no more screaming cpu fan. Easy applicator, amount received was sufficient for the task.
