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.

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.

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.

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!

Good thermal paste, as to be expected from the brand - but holy hell, that cleaner STINKS. Take the chip / cooler outside, wipe them down, throw the cleaner towel into a bag, and walk it out to your bin.

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.

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.

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.

Siempre a mis equipos le pongo lo mejor de lo mejor, en este caso es el turno de Artic con su fantástica MX-6. Tanto en reposo como en altas cargas a mejorado alguna decima las temperaturas, en un i5 6200U, Core Ultra 255H, Ryzen 7 7800X3D, Ryzen 5 9600X y en un Ivy bridge x2 en un Mac mini. También lo uso en otros equipos que no están en casa.
