Great thermal conductivity Spreads Easily Insane $/Gram Easy clean up
It's the company that i ordered through newegg with= BKTech that I'd like to praise. they sent notifications to me (besides the regular newegg ones) about the status of the order and the delivery. the processing was prompt, the delivery was quick, and the product package is in perfect condition. the Arcticlean kit is great, of course, but the company that you're dealing with through newegg, is excellent.
Amazing stuff. Viscosity is low enough to be spread nicely. Allows me to overclock a little further. At stock speeds my i7 was running idle at around 25 degrees with ambient temperature at around 65.
Cool vram nicely, especially when you overclock!
I was skeptical at first. 18 w/mk and 0.01 resistance sounded too good to be true for a paste. It's not. 7800X3D - TMJ @65c, PBO -30. Idles around 36c, rarely hits 56-58C under load or loading a game. AIO - Deepcool LT720 running 3 push, 3 pull fans on the lowest (Silent) MoBo setting. Cities: Skylines 2 - sits around 50c. So 49-51c. Starfield - 48-52c. Jameson and Akila City, doing what they do. XFX rx 6700 XT SFT 309 - shaved a few celsius off the overall temp range. Would hit 65-68C with stock paste, aggressive fan curve and ingame settings adjusted down for performance/frames. Now sits around 60-61c, fan curve set to %45 for that temp range. In both Cities 2 and Starfield. Same settings. The tube I received was non conductive as advertised. Made a mess, cleaned it up. Still had a little where it shouldn't be. Turned my PC on anyway. Stupid, but that's how I know.
cheap price, deliver fast, hold my part good. cool down my CPU quick
- easy to apply - the included quantity is enough for more than one application - tube is "resealable" so it can be used again without having to worry about drying out - the plunger is very user friendly. moves forward and back easily
I have been using this MX4 for many years and it's great to work with. It cleans up well and not to thin of a paste. Carbon based not metal based.
Good price, ease of application.
It doesn't take trying many other brands before Arctic Silver is the one you consistently go back to. Faithful user for over 15 years now.
Amazing replacement for thermal pads, allows for actual proper cooling on the back of a gpu via it's backplate
8 year life! Pretty much says it all in the world of TIM's!
