Bought this with the intention to replace all the thermal compounds in my old PCs, but before that, I applied this to my Nickel Plated Vega 64 Waterblock and found it had perfect heat conductivity!
Room temperature: 22c
Water temperature: 22c
GPU core Temperature: 22c
Cooling spec: 360mm Thick EK Rad & 140mm slim EK Rad.
Inside Loop: Vega 64 & Threadripper 1950x
Thermal paste is spot on, was previously paying an extra premium for Thermal Grizzly and was not receiving any extra benefit.
Unfortunately, my CPU temperature is sitting around 27-29c idle, this is due to the design fault of EK’s first gen Threadripper waterblocks not covering the entire IHS.
4 months down the line.
After seeing identical GPU core temps to room temperature, I’ve concluded theres no need for Liquid Metal solutions in a waterblock!
Arctic’s MX-4 is certainty the best price to performance traditional thermal paste solution available on the market, theres no need to fall for these higher heat conductivity rating gimmicks!

You can use this for all heatsinks like GPU, CPU and PSU etc.

About the same performance as NT-H1, but cheaper. Dries up and becomes sticky after 6mths-1yr.
By Miss M on 17 March 2018
The packaging will fool you, it was a smart marketing strategy. 4 grams is actually half the syringe. I bought at least 10 to be thermal paste proof. I noticed they dry up quickly after being exposed to air. They lose liquids and consistency which affected the performance. It increased the temperature by 5-10*C. Therefore, I recommend you to buy individual smaller thermal pastes than 20 grams or more because of good consistency. Performance wise, this is actually better than the NT-H1. It's also cheaper. The Arctic MX-4 and NT-H1 let let my i7-2600k run from 18C-30C at idle and up to 40C during full load. I am using the Noctua NH-15.By Miss M on 17 March 2018

I would have liked a couple of special wipes to remove the old paste. I spent more on IsoPropyl than I did on the MX-4.
The horror is opening up the laptop, including the 20 screws that hold the case together (2 hidden under the feet), taking out the DVD and HDD to avoid rough handling, and opening the 40 plastic clips for the first time.
Try to find a YouTube for your model if you haven't done this before. Keep different sets of screws in an egg-box, and keep a diagram of where they all go as you work.

Easy to use and works fine.
By Paul_Pedant on 21 November 2019
I got this because my CPU (8-year-old Laptop) was overheating. Turns out I probably didn't need it, because cleaning the fan and air duct cured the problem. But I remounted the heat sink as I already had the MX-4, mainly to find out how easy it was. It is certainly no worse than the original build, and probably better. I did it 3 times to check the coverage of the bond.By Paul_Pedant on 21 November 2019
