ARCTIC MX-4 Thermal Paste Kit, 4g, with Cleaning Pads

ARCTIC MX-4 is a well-known thermal paste for CPUs and graphics cards. It is made of carbon microparticles, which Arctic says gives it very high thermal conductivity, and it is metal-free and not electrically conductive, so there is no risk of a short circuit if a little gets on the board. It has an easy-to-apply consistency, even for beginners, and each tube has Arctic’s authenticity check.

A complete kit you can use yourself. Everything you need is in the box: the tube of paste, two lint-free cleaning pads with 99.7% isopropyl alcohol (IPA, also called isopropanol) to clean the old paste off the processor and cooler, so they also work as thermal paste remover wipes, and 4 cotton pads to wipe the surfaces clean and dry. Then apply the new paste and refit the cooler.
