Simple but effective.

cant knock this product. Cant really praise it either. Works as it should.

Easy to apply and have a lot left for future use.

This is the best non-electrically conductive, ambient temp paste on the market for many years now. It's guaranteed by the manufacturer to not require reapplying for 8 years, and I've seen anecdotal results of people finding it still hasn't dried up after more than 8 years. Track record matters with paste.

It also comes in larger quantities, so if you're building a lot of systems you can get a lot of it and save some money. MX2 is just as good and has even larger tubes available. See my photos for the best way to apply paste on a Ryzen CPU, you want it that way due to how the cores are oriented under the heatspreader and to prevent air bubbles.

My CPU hasn't died yet, so I think it's good enough

I just bought it in case I had any trouble with the cooler installation. Used it to replace the paste on my older pc.

Well....It thermal paste....and my CPU not blowing up....so...5 stars

I can't really do any side-by-side comparisons of thermal paste myself, but this stuff is at the top of a lot of shootouts. At this price, can't complain.

Compound: MX4 has been shown to outperform Arctic Silver and I really didn't want the abrasive factor of IC Diamond. I probably put a little too much thought into choosing a thermal compound but with temps not exceeding low 40's I'm happy. Although, one thing I have heard is that MX4 may not age so well, which I'll have to keep an eye out for.

Favored by many, Arctic MX-4 is an affordable paste that offers great thermal conductivity for the cost. Best used on air coolers, as I would instead recommend Thermal Grizzy Kryonaut for liquid cooling.
