ARCTIC MX-6 (4 g, incl. 6 MX Cleaner) - Ultimate Performance Thermal Paste for CPU, Consoles, Graphics Cards, laptops, Very high Thermal Conductivity, Long Durability, Non-Conductive

Coming from the old Arctic Silver products, this stuff is a pain to spread, so I quite trying and just add the usual "X" shaped application and it's worked great when compressed. Temps are always competitively low.

Works extremely well. I replaced a 95-watt TDP 6-core Xeon with a faster 130-watt TDP 6-core Xeon. Idle temp is about 5° C over ambient with the stock heatsink and the CPU fan at 0 RPM. If you're old-school, please note that this paste cannot be spread across the top of the CPU package using a spatula or razor blade like with previous generation pastes, as it will just ball up and make a mess. Note the instruction URL on the box. I used the X pattern as suggested. Note that if you choose to use the cleaning cloths it's best done in a well-ventilated space, or even outside, using gloves. The cloths are very pungent and the smell lingers. I'm very satisfied with the MX-6 product.

Replaced my cpu and bought this thermal paste for my new cpu. Works great and easy application. Before putting away my old one, the wipes cleaned up the old thermal paste great. Have not had any heating issues with my cpu and temps are running normal. Good thermal paste.

Great price. Fantastic thermal paste, used this for my steamdeck and it's much cooler now! Seems fine so far, thanks!

People that complain about the smell must not be able to read. It literally tells you in the listing. Also it just smells slightly like a citrus cleaner. If you can't handle that you might need help. The thermal paste is great but slightly thick compared to other brands. So it makes it a little harder to spread if you like doing that but just know you don't have to spread it for it to work.

I used Arctic MX-6 to repaste the CPU and GPU on my HP Victus gaming laptop, and overall the results were excellent. Before the repaste, my laptop would overheat and even shut down during heavy workloads like Microsoft Flight Simulator. After applying MX-6, temperatures dropped a lot: • CPU temps stayed well below throttling • GPU temps became very stable • No more shutdowns during long gaming sessions One important thing to note: The paste is very thick and the first bit that comes out of the tube can feel dry and stringy. I recommend discarding the first small amount and then using the paste that comes out after — it becomes smooth and works perfectly. Once applied (pea/ball method), it spreads well under pressure and performs as expected. The paste is non-conductive and feels high quality. Overall, great thermal performance, especially for laptops, just be aware of the thick consistency at first.

Certainly gets the job done. Keeps temperatures low, and it’s a solid price. I can’t attest to how well it’ll hold up yet, but I have high hopes. Several people have complained about the smell of the wipes, and while they have a strong “cleaning supply” kind of smell, it’s over exaggerated and can easily be negated by just putting them in a bag and then disposing of them after use.

works good temps down 4c . just know the chemical on the wipes are very strong smelling . so dont throw them in your trash can inside your house . bring it out to the dumpster .

Super pasta, chusteczki w zestawie świetnie działają i nawet przyjemnie pachną! Świetne przewodzenie, dobra ilość i jakość.

The MX-6 thermal paste performs very well in heat transfer and paste application. Temperature drops were noticed immediately under load and re pasting the CPU was very simple as the paste has a slightly higher viscosity compared to MX-4. Spreading the paste for full coverage was fairly simple and quick. The MX cleaning wipes are a double edge sword compared to iso propyl alcohol. While it does a great job breaking down the old paste for clean up, it also makes the paste very runny. It does not affect any clean up per se but it does get a little messy and stain a lot of things like automotive anti seize. Finally as noted by many people in the review section, the odor of the cleaner is definitely strong. I highly recommend this job be done somewhere ventilated and throw the wipes directly in the outside trash can.

Die ARCTIC MX-6 ist eine leistungsstarke Wärmeleitpaste, die ich für meinen Gaming-PC mit einem Ryzen 7 9800X3D und einer be quiet! Light Loop 360mm AIO verwendet habe. Nach einigen Tests und Erfahrungen kann ich sagen: Diese Paste ist absolut hochwertig - wenn man sie richtig anwendet! --Verarbeitung & Anwendung - Keine Spatelverteilung nötig!-- Ein häufiger Kritikpunkt in den Bewertungen ist die hohe Viskosität der Paste. Ja, die MX-6 ist dickflüssiger als andere Pasten, aber genau das ist beabsichtigt! Sie bleibt stabil auf der CPU, verläuft nicht und sorgt für eine langlebige, gleichmäßige Wärmeübertragung. Wichtige Klarstellung hierzu: Diese Paste ist nicht dafür gedacht, mit einem Spatel verteilt zu werden! Der beste Weg ist die Erbsenmethode: Einfach einen kleinen Punkt in die Mitte der CPU setzen und den Kühler mit normalem Anpressdruck darauf montieren. Die Paste verteilt sich dabei von selbst perfekt. Nicht mit einem Spatel verstreichen! Das kann zu ungleichmäßiger Verteilung oder Luftblasen führen. Durch die hohe Viskosität bleibt sie dort, wo sie hingehört, ohne sich bei der Montage zu verflüssigen oder auszulaufen. Ich habe die Paste genau so aufgetragen und meine Temperaturen sind absolut top: ✔ Idle: 35 - 40°C ✔ Gaming: 40 - 60°C ✔ 3DMark/FurMark/Prime95 Stresstest: Unter 80°C Das zeigt, dass die Wärmeübertragung einwandfrei funktioniert und die Paste perfekt aufgetragen wurde. --Reinigungstücher - Effektiv, aber geruchsintensiv-- Die mitgelieferten MX Cleaner Tücher haben ihre Aufgabe gut erledigt: Sie entfernen alte Wärmeleitpaste problemlos und hinterlassen eine saubere, fettfreie Oberfläche. Ja, sie haben einen starken chemischen Geruch, aber das ist normal für alkoholbasierte Reinigungstücher. Alternativ könnte man auch Isopropanol (90%+) verwenden, aber die mitgelieferten Tücher sind eine praktische Lösung. --Fazit - Exzellente Wärmeleitpaste für die richtige Anwendung-- ✔ Hohe Wärmeleitfähigkeit & exzellente Kühlleistung ✔ Langfristig stabil dank hoher Viskosität - kein Auslaufen oder Austrocknen ✔ Ideal für High-End-CPUs, Grafikkarten & Laptops ✔ Richtige Anwendung (Erbsenmethode) sorgt für perfekte Ergebnisse X Nicht mit einem Spatel verstreichen - das ist nicht nötig! X Reinigungstücher haben einen chemischen Geruch, aber funktionieren gut Klare Empfehlung für alle, die eine High-Performance-Wärmeleitpaste suchen - aber sie richtig anwenden!

Recensione: La ARCTIC MX‑6 è una pasta termica di fascia alta, ideale per CPU, GPU, console e notebook. Rispetto alla MX‑4 offre prestazioni termiche superiori (fino al 20% in più), con una consistenza facile da stendere e non serve un tempo di assestamento dopo l’applicazione. È sicura perché non conduce elettricità e mantiene le prestazioni per anni senza seccarsi. Il formato da 4 g è sufficiente per più applicazioni (io stimo 5-6 applicazioni) e i 6 panni MX Cleaner inclusi sono un plus: rimuovono in pochi secondi la vecchia pasta senza lasciare residui e hanno un profumo fantastico che rimarra nella stanza per giorni 😋. Nei miei test ho visto temperature più basse di 1‑3°C rispetto a paste di fascia media, soprattutto sotto carico prolungato. In sintesi: facile da applicare, prestazioni elevate, kit completo. Perfetta sia per chi fa manutenzione saltuaria sia per chi assembla o aggiorna spesso i propri sistemi.

👍 It helped in bring down the temperature, noice and it can be easily cleaned with the alcohol wipes provided along with it.
