    It's not "just" about the temperature, it's about how long the thermal paste will last before repasting, MX-4 just keeps on going and going. You pretty much only have to replace it when you take off your coolers.

      THIS!
      Using it in my laboratory since it came out and never bought any other brand after that.... and i can say that the MX4 can last even YEARS and when you remove the cooler it is STILL SOFT, and not like a concrete piece rock as happens with other brands.

      This is true. I recently had a look at some 10-year-old paste, and it was still perfectly fine. (As were the temps) Only replaced it because I removed the cooler.

    I think that CPUs with heat spreaders have caused the performance difference between pastes to become much smaller. MX-4 has been accused of "pump out" however I suspect that really only applies for direct on die applications, because when used with heat spreaders a lot of people report that it works fine for a very long time. Some thermal paste testing sites have conducted tests on food items such as butter and mayo, just to prove how little difference there is using a heat spreader, and they perform better than some actual pastes, at least during the length of time that the test ran for.

  • @banks3388

    Hello, I've bought this thermal paste in 8g tube and it seems to emit a strong sweetish smell which gives me a mild headache. Does your unit also emit such a smell ? On my package it says Rev.3 best before: Jan 2030. I've checked the authenticity and it says it's genuine. I'm a little concerned it may cause health issues in long term use.

    • @goorthiss
      @goorthiss 4 місяці тому

      GD900-1 is a good choice but for a CPU in a desktop computer that does not draw more than 120W in stress in HWinfo CPU Package Power in a laptop no more than 30W. For CPUs that draw more watts, I suggest using a phase change material such as Honeywell PTM7950, Upsiren PCM-1, Gelid HeatPhase Ultra, Thermalright Heilos.

      Keep in mind that there are certain stock CPU coolers that don't absolutely suck like the Wraith Spire and Wraith Prism.
      AMD thermal paste has the tendency to turn into glue over time. I don't use their stock thermal paste for that reason alone.

  • @JH-fk8ow
    @JH-fk8ow Місяць тому

    Shitty comparison, uneven/different size and spread with the paste, this alone can explain the 1c difference easy, should have spread both pastes all around the copper surface to get same coverage. Also many pastes require burn in period to settle, some even up to 200hours or several heating cycles to reach the full performance. Your results are basically null.
    also you have no clue how the performance holds in long period, mx4 works longer than the pc will... but other compounds might degrade in couple years, like the metal ones. I can save some time and tell that mx4 is under 3 percent behind the ''best'' thermal pastes in temps. i got my mx4 for free so there is really no point to buy 3% better paste untill i run out in maybe next 10years
