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

This thermal paste worked extremely well for repasting my laptop. Temperatures dropped noticeably almost immediately after applying it, and the fans don’t ramp up nearly as aggressively anymore under load. The laptop simply runs cooler and quieter overall now. Performance-wise, this paste definitely lives up to the reputation ARCTIC products have built over the years. It transfers heat very effectively and seems especially good for laptops, consoles, GPUs, and other devices where temperatures can get pretty high in compact spaces. The included cleaning wipes were also surprisingly useful. They did an excellent job removing the old dried thermal paste without needing much scrubbing. The wipes do have a pretty strong chemical smell though, so using them in a ventilated area is definitely a good idea. One thing worth mentioning is the consistency. MX-6 is thicker than a lot of older thermal pastes, so it’s not the easiest paste to manually spread with a card or spatula. Using a pea or X-pattern application works much better because the pressure from the cooler spreads it evenly on its own. Once compressed, coverage is excellent. The 4g tube also goes farther than expected. Even after repasting a laptop, there’s still plenty left for future applications on CPUs, GPUs, or consoles, so the value for money is very good. Another big plus is that it’s non-conductive, which makes the application process less stressful since there’s much lower risk if a little extra paste spreads near components. Overall, this is an excellent thermal paste with strong cooling performance, long durability, good value, effective cleaning wipes, and noticeably lower temperatures and fan noise after installation. Definitely a worthwhile upgrade for older laptops, gaming consoles, or desktop PCs running hot.

My 6 year old aging laptop started to run the fan constantly. I opened it up, dusted out the fan, and used this thermal paste when reassembling. The wipes worked fine, although they had a strong lemon odor. It was more pleasant than pure alcohol smell initially, but it made me worried that there would be fragrance residue left behind instead of a purely clean surface on my processor board. Still, when reassembled, the fan now comes on much less frequently and everything works as new.

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.

Great thermal paste! Used it to replace the old paste on my Xbox 360, and PS4. Still have plenty left to do more! The paste cleaning wipes were very good at getting rid of the old paste! Both consoles don’t get as hot as they once did! Especially the PS4, the fan isn’t spinning at commercial airline turbine speeds haha!

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.

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.

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.

Great product, easy to use. I used this to fix the cold water sensor for my primo water cooler. It use to freeze over and become unusable. Now, after removing the sensor and applying the thermo paste to sensor, no issues.

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!

Good thermal paste The best on the market quality price Good added cleaning papers.

Świetny zestaw dla początkującego użytkownika, brakuje tylko łopatki do rozprowadzania jeżeli ktoś preferuje ten sposób. Przy pomocy tego zestawu nakładałem pastę 3 razy i nadal dużo zostało. Chusteczki działają magicznie, bardzo dobre również do odtłuszczania powierzchni. Pasta trzyma temperaturę genialnie.

La pasta termica ARCTIC MX-6 ha trasformato radicalmente le prestazioni del mio laptop, portandolo da temperature elevate a un raffreddamento efficace anche durante sessioni di utilizzo intensivo. È senza dubbio un prodotto eccezionale che ha superato le mie aspettative. Prima dell'applicazione della MX-6, il mio laptop raggiungeva temperature preoccupanti anche durante attività leggere. Dopo aver pulito e applicato questa pasta termica, ho notato un calo significativo delle temperature. Ora il mio PC non si surriscalda nemmeno quando è sottoposto a carichi di lavoro impegnativi con vari software. La consistenza della pasta è ottima e facilita l'applicazione in modo uniforme. Il tubetto ha una quantità sufficiente per diverse applicazioni, rendendo il prodotto un ottimo investimento per gli amanti dell'hardware che desiderano mantenere le loro macchine in condizioni ottimali. Unica nota negativa riguarda le salviettine fornite per la pulizia della vecchia pasta termica. Appena aperta la bustina monouso, si sprigiona un odore sgradevole derivante dal liquido impregnato. Consiglio di utilizzare queste salviettine in una stanza ben ventilata e, se possibile, di indossare i guanti per evitare che l'odore si trasferisca sulle mani. Tuttavia, questo piccolo inconveniente è trascurabile rispetto ai vantaggi evidenti ottenuti con l'uso della MX-6. In conclusione, la ARCTIC MX-6 è un must-have per chiunque desideri migliorare le prestazioni termiche del proprio dispositivo. Non posso che raccomandarla caldamente a tutti gli appassionati di hardware che cercano la soluzione definitiva per il surriscaldamento del loro laptop o PC
