The interface between a CPU/GPU and its heatsink can have air gaps or inconsistencies that hinder heat transfer. Overall, the opinions are mixed, and it'd be best to read the reviews carefully before making a purchase.

I thought it must have been a fluke so i gave it almost a month of continous usage everyday and still consistent!

Modifying” a cooler by replacing the fan with a relatively more efficient model may not always lead to the desired result. By examining these thermal pastes, users can make informed decisions when seeking optimal thermal solutions for their computing systems. The too thick or too thin thermal paste would not help result in efficient thermal conductivity since too sparse or too thick to even spread out would be counterproductive. And I can’t apply significant pressure when spreading the material as the internal support in the laptop is a bit flexible.

Novamente, a chave é ter bastante paciência, é como fazer um escondidinho: pode parecer bem feio no momento que aplica, mas com cuidado você consegue formar uma camada quase perfeita.It's so thick that unless your cooler has a very high clamping force it won't actually spread evenly from pressure from the traditional pea / rice / center dot method, and putting too much on can actually create a "layer" of TIM that reduces optimal heat transfer. Arctic MX-4, MX-5, and MX-6 are thermal compounds designed to improve heat transfer between processors and heat sinks. In addition to heat transfer, thermal compounds often contain materials that protect against corrosion and ensure longevity for both the component and the heatsink.

this is hopefully it for "out-of-season" pump-out happening, and MX-6 and Kryonaut Extreme can go back to topping charts xD (And giving competition to MasterGel Pro V2 and Prolimatech PK-3). Room temp between the grizzly and mx4 test has been 24-28c, the MX-5 still performed the same at a room temp of 30c during the heatwave! As thermal pastes go, MX-series compounds are reliable and perform better than most pre-applied thermal pastes. If you wonder why the results were a few degrees different than the ones in my Noctua NH-D15S chromax.This allows precise adjustment of the power and contact pressure to be transmitted and highly accurate temperature measurement. Thermal compounds have higher thermal conductivity than air, so they help to decrease this resistance and allow heat to flow more efficiently. It can cause corrosion, it is hard to apply, it can short out your other parts due to its conductive nature, and it will need to be re-applied much more often do to not having as long of a lifespan. Their bases of operation are in Switzerland, Germany, Hong Kong, and the USA with the availability of their products in over 45 countries. It is also suitable for direct-die cooling scenarios, which are often used with graphics cards or console processor GPUs.

I know I've used it in multiple builds, even to repaste GPUs, and so far I didn't have a single issue. I have tried in two different systems, one has a Ryzen 7 5800x (Known to be very hot) and the other was Ryzen 9 5900x. If the item comes direct from a manufacturer, it may be delivered in non-retail packaging, such as a plain or unprinted box or plastic bag.I have checked idle temperatures and compared this with the idle temperatures I had after repasting in June of 2021. I personally got two batches of MX-4 in a row that came out watery and as two separate compounds that needed to be stirred. I have tried repasting several time, cleaning using lint free paper and solvent so made no difference and gave up entirely on thermal grizzly. We don’t know exactly what was behind the discontinuation of the MX-5 thermal paste, but it was apparently easier to release a model with new naming.
