Its non-conductive, carbon filler-based formula ensures safe, easy application without risk of short circuits. Designed for versatile use across CPUs, GPUs, and direct-die cooling, MX-6 maintains long-term performance with no drying or leakage. Included MX Cleaner wipes simplify prep and cleanup, while ARCTIC’s Authenticity Check guarantees genuine product quality. Ideal for professionals and enthusiasts demanding reliable, high-performance thermal management. ## Description Product Description Simply the Paste The ARCTIC MX-6 is a carbon filler-based thermal paste and reaches its maximum performance without burn-in, directly after application and distribution. It achieves all of this without any reputed ingredients, such as expensive diamond dust or various precious metal particles. The silicone gel used as a carrier enables optimal distribution, which is achieved through even contact pressure, for example when mounting the heat sink. 20% Better Performance With its improved composition, the ARCTIC MX-6 has a measurably lower thermal resistance than the MX-4. We measured the absolute thermal resistance of both pastes on our lab-testing machine, which is much more accurate than a CPU. Two factors are mainly relevant -Conductivity -Minimum Bond Line thickness A lower thermal resistance of the paste leads to a lower temperature difference between CPU and cooler. Proven quality We are proud of our thermal pastes. With over 20 years of experience in the PC cooling market the MX-6 was developed with the goal to offer a first-class product. The optimized formula is based on the MX-4. The focus was on versatile application possibilities and an easy-to-use consistency. Versatile range of applications With its new composition, MX-6 is the suitable thermal compound for many application scenarios. Excellent non-drying and non-bleeding properties ensure consistent long-term performance. Its viscosity prevents leakage due to the pump-out effect. It's also suitable for direct-die cooling scenarios which occur, for example, with graphics cards or console processor GPUs. 100 % original through Authenticity Check To ensure that your paste is genuine, there is the ARCTIC Authenticity Check. This allows every product to be reliably verified. A counterfeit offers neither the performance nor the durability of the original ARCTIC pastes. Easy application MX-6 is neither electrically conductive nor capacitive. This eliminates the risk of short circuits or discharges, which can cause serious damage to components if care is not taken. The thermal paste is also free of liquid metal components, which can often lead to discoloration, abrasion or corrosion damage to the radiator bottom. Available in several versions ARCTIC MX-6 is available in package sizes from 2 to 8 grams. Resealable syringes prevent the paste from drying out and facilitate dispensing. Alternatively, the variants with MX Cleaner are available. These enable simple and residue-free cleaning of the contact surfaces. The cleaner consists of 100% Limonene, a natural substance obtained from citrus essential oil.

Is the plexiglass included with the product?** A: Didn't come with a spreader. Just the paste and the cleaning wipes in a small box. **Q: How much do i need? it says 4gm, ive seen an alternative which is 1gm. i need to cover cpu and gpu.** A: MX-6 is available in 2g and 4g. I would suggest the 4g to ensure you have enough for both applications, and some left maybe for the future too. **Q: Would this mx-6 be suitable for the playstation 3 or 4? thanks.** A: Man, I will say use the traditional mx-4, I am still testing this new mx but everyday I get higher and higher. so I would say stick with the old things, they are working better **Q: What is the W/mk? I see lots of sales paff, but no actual number.** A: They never stated it. However comparing mx4 versus mx6 on my 5800x3d has reduced load temps by 3 degrees (taking ambient into consideration) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Efficient, Easy to Apply, and Excellent Cooling *by S***T on 1 March 2026* The ARCTIC MX-6 thermal paste delivers top-notch performance for CPU cooling.
