    I ordered some MX-4 last fortnight and it arrived a couple days ago, so I finally decided to do the treacherous journey of dissembling of my DV7 6111TX laptop.
    It took a few hours to finally get the motherboard out for the first time (making sure I was being careful), a few fragile clips broke during the process but everything is back together now thankfully.

    I've got some screenshots of before putting the MX-4 on but I haven't done the after tests just yet, I should be able to tonight though.

    The tests are used with Real Temp 3.70 GT and Prime95 25.11, Tests are run for an hour showing idle and max temperatures.
    Cooling is done by using a CoolerMaster NotePal Ergostand cooler running at max.

    Stress test for an hour:

    More temperatures will be added tonight, the texture was quite nice and very easy to apply, it spread very good too.
