Overview
The ARCTIC MX-7 (4g) is a high-performance thermal paste from Swiss cooling specialist ARCTIC. It is designed for a wide range of processors including CPUs, GPUs, game consoles, and laptops. Its non-conductive and non-capacitive formula ensures safe application even for beginners. The model number is ACTCP00090A, and the ASIN is B0FT2XSPSN.

Key Features
- High thermal conductivity for effective heat transfer, helping to lower CPU and GPU temperatures.
- Long-term durability reduces the need for frequent reapplication.
- Non-conductive and non-capacitive, minimizing the risk of short circuits if paste spreads beyond the chip.
- 4g tube provides enough paste for multiple applications or several devices.
- Compact dimensions: 2.03 x 1.27 x 10.67 cm, weight 8 g.
Compatibility Guide
ARCTIC MX-7 is compatible with all major CPU sockets, including Intel LGA1700/1200/115x and AMD AM5/AM4. It can also be used on GPU dies, laptop processors, and console APUs (e.g., PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X). Because it is non-conductive, it is safe for direct application on IHS and bare dies.
Ideal Builds
- First-time PC builders looking for a reliable and easy-to-use thermal paste.
- Gamers wanting to improve CPU or GPU cooling in their existing system.
- Users maintaining laptops or game consoles with thermal paste replacement.
- Anyone who prefers a long-lasting solution without frequent maintenance.
Upgrade Considerations
While MX-7 offers excellent performance, extreme overclocking or very high thermal loads may benefit from liquid metal or premium pastes. Apply only a pea-sized amount (about 0.2g) to avoid spillage. Replacement interval is typically 2–3 years, but check temperatures periodically and reapply if needed.
