Syringe of grey thermal paste with plastic spatula

THE ORDINARY

THE ORDINARY MX-4 Thermal Paste 8 g with Spatula

SKU CH-3ECK-02QFK

High-conductivity carbon thermal paste for CPUs and GPUs, non-conductive, eight-year durability, includes spatula for easy application

  • Accessory categoryCleaning
  • Carbon microparticles deliver high thermal conductivity for efficient CPU/GPU heat dissipation
  • Metal-free, non-conductive formula eliminates short-circuit risk on sensitive components
  • Consistent performance lasts at least eight years without re-application
  • Smooth consistency and included spatula enable easy, bubble-free application even for beginners
  • Proven unchanged formula across packaging revisions ensures reliable quality every time

Target users

This thermal paste is designed for anyone who needs reliable heat transfer between a processor and its cooler. It suits desktop PC builders, laptop owners and console users working on a PS4 or Xbox. The non-conductive formula makes it a safe choice for first-time applicators who want to avoid the risk of short circuits.

Build integration

The syringe contains 8 grams of compound and includes a spatula for spreading, so no extra tools are required. It is compatible with CPU and GPU surfaces on PC, PS4 and Xbox platforms. Because the paste is metal-free and non-electrically conductive, it eliminates the risk of short circuits and corrosion damage to cooler bases, simplifying installation and long-term safety.

Capacity and longevity

An 8 g syringe provides enough material for multiple applications across CPUs and GPUs. The carbon microparticle formula maintains its performance without drying out or degrading, with a rated durability of at least eight years once applied. This means re-application is not needed during typical component lifespans, freeing the builder from repeated maintenance.

Questions about this item

How long does the MX-4 thermal paste maintain its performance before needing reapplication?

The carbon microparticle formula does not degrade like metal or silicon compounds and lasts at least 8 years once applied.

Does the MX-4 paste pose any risk of electrical shorts if it spreads onto nearby components?

It is metal-free and non-electrically conductive, so it cannot cause short circuits or corrosion on CPU and GPU surfaces.

What is included in the package to help apply the paste evenly?

An 8 g syringe of MX-4 and a spatula are supplied for controlled, bubble-free application.
