ARCTIC MX-4 4G

ARCTIC MX-4 2019 Edition | Carbon Thermal Compound

The ARCTIC MX-4 (4 g) Edition 2019 – High Performance Thermal Paste delivers exceptional heat dissipation for CPUs and GPUs through its carbon micro-particle formula. This non-conductive, non-capacitive compound offers reliable cooling performance for overclockers and system builders seeking maximum thermal efficiency.

Technical Specifications

Carbon Formula for Superior Heat Transfer

The MX-4’s carbon micro-particle composition creates an extremely high thermal conductivity pathway between your processor and heatsink. Unlike metal-based compounds that can conduct electricity, this carbon formula safely dissipates heat without risking short circuits. The 8.5 W/m·K rating ensures rapid heat transfer from high-performance CPUs and GPUs during intensive workloads or overclocking sessions.

Safe and Easy Application Process

With its ideal consistency, the MX-4 applies smoothly even for beginners. The non-metallic formula eliminates concerns about electrical conductivity when spreading the paste across CPU surfaces. Its user-friendly viscosity allows for even coverage without air pockets, ensuring complete contact between components. The included application guide helps achieve optimal spread patterns for maximum cooling efficiency.

Long-Term Performance Without Reapplication

Unlike traditional metal or silicon thermal compounds that degrade over time, the MX-4 maintains consistent performance for at least 8 years after application. Once properly installed, there’s no need to clean and reapply, saving time and ensuring reliable cooling throughout your system’s lifespan. This durability makes it particularly cost-effective for long-term builds.

Optimised Eco-Friendly Packaging

ARCTIC has redesigned the MX-4 packaging to reduce environmental impact by approximately 40% through recyclable materials and minimised dimensions. The practical packaging bag not only protects the compound but also demonstrates ARCTIC’s commitment to sustainable resource use while maintaining product integrity during storage and shipping.
