ARCTIC MX-4 (4 g) - Premium Performance Thermal Paste for all processors (CPU, GPU - PC, PS4, XBOX), very high thermal conductivity, long durability, safe application, non-conductive, non-capacitive

Product Information

The MX-6 is a non-conductive and non-capacitive thermal paste. This means that it is safe to use on electronic components, as it will not cause short circuits or discharges. It is also free of liquid metal components, which can be corrosive and damage radiator bottoms. In addition to that, users get three to 2 degrees Celcius lower CPU full load core temperatures. That’s more than standard thermal compounds or thermal pads. That’s the case when measured with a calibrated thermal diode embedded in the CPU core.

These two thermal pastes are excellent additions to your rig and computer. However, we are going to pitch our tent with the MX4. It has better all-round delivery on temperatures and performances. The interface between a CPU/GPU and its heatsink can have air gaps or inconsistencies that hinder heat transfer. These gaps create a barrier known as thermal resistance. Thermal compounds have higher thermal conductivity than air, so they help to decrease this resistance and allow heat to flow more efficiently. In addition to heat transfer, thermal compounds often contain materials that protect against corrosion and ensure longevity for both the component and the heatsink. MX-6 is suitable for many different applications. It has excellent non-drying and non-bleeding properties, which ensures consistent performance over time. Its viscosity prevents leakage due to the Pump-Out Effect. It is also suitable for direct-die cooling scenarios, which are often used with graphics cards or console processor GPUs. Una de las características destacadas de la ARCTIC MX-4 es su capacidad para proporcionar una transferencia de calor eficiente. Con una conductividad térmica muy alta, ayuda a reducir las temperaturas de los componentes críticos, como la CPU y la GPU, lo que a su vez mejora el rendimiento y la estabilidad del sistema. Esta pasta térmica es compatible con una amplia gama de procesadores y unidades gráficas, lo que la hace versátil y adecuada para diversas configuraciones.Viscosity and Application: While MX-6 has a higher viscosity compared to MX-4, it has properties that prevent leakage due to the Pump-Out Effect. This ensures consistent performance over time and reduces the risk of the thermal paste “pumping out” from between the CPU/GPU and heatsink due to heat cycling. The Arctic MX-4 thermal compound paste has enough quality to keep you going for about eight years. As such, it presents a standard. That’s why any thermal paste shouldn’t be installed regularly. Answer: Arctic MX-5 faced issues with irregular durability, premature hardening, and overall consistency in some batches, leading to its discontinuation. These concerns prompted Arctic to replace it with the improved MX-6 thermal compound. When you’re searching for the ideal quality thermal paste to use, it’s difficult for a potential customer not to inquire about the number of years it will last. La durabilidad de la ARCTIC MX-4 también es impresionante. A diferencia de algunas pastas térmicas que pueden secarse o volverse menos efectivas con el tiempo, esta pasta térmica está diseñada para mantener su rendimiento durante períodos prolongados. Esto significa que no tendrás que preocuparte por reemplazarla con frecuencia, lo que es una ventaja tanto en términos de conveniencia como de ahorro económico.

Ein kleiner Verbesserungsvorschlag wäre die Beigabe eines kleinen Spatels, um die Anwendung noch einfacher zu gestalten. Auch wenn das Auftragen ohne Spatel problemlos funktioniert, würde dieses kleine Werkzeug den Prozess noch komfortabler machen. La durabilidad de la ARCTIC MX-4 también merece ser elogiada. A diferencia de algunas pastas térmicas que pueden perder eficacia con el tiempo o secarse, esta pasta térmica está diseñada para mantener su rendimiento a lo largo del tiempo. Esto significa que los usuarios no tendrán que preocuparse por sustituirla constantemente, lo que no solo aporta comodidad, sino que también se traduce en un ahorro económico a largo plazo.

Thermal Paste with High Performance and Easy Application

While thermal compounds are important, their impact on temperatures can vary depending on factors like the quality of the compound, the design of the cooling solution, and the overall thermal design of the device. Proper application is also crucial; applying too much or too little compound can affect its efficiency. A Brief Note on Arctic Cooling Most quality thermal compounds are non-electrically conductive. This is important because it prevents accidental electrical connections between the conductive parts of the CPU/GPU and the heatsink, reducing the risk of short circuits. Case Fans: Arctic offers a range of case fans with different sizes and performance levels. These fans are designed to enhance airflow within a computer case, which is crucial for maintaining optimal temperatures.
