This Stuff Really Works
I purchased a floor model gaming laptop and got a great deal. The floor models run all day so I had to clean it up and upgrade it with a few things. The original stock thermal paste was barely there when I opened up the computer to reveal the CPU/GPU. My temps were extremely high when the computer was idle. After I applied a pea sized dot of this to the CPU and a line of it to the GPU, I checked the performance. I literally dropped around 20 degrees in idle. I couldn't believe it. I must have added a ridiculous amount of life to this computer just by replacing the stock paste and applying the MX-4. I was going to just put a thermal pad on it, but I'm glad that I went with this paste. 100%!
