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

I purchased the ARCTIC MX-6 thermal paste to replace older paste during routine CPU maintenance and to improve thermal performance in a desktop system. Intended use: Reapplying thermal compound during CPU cooler installation and general system maintenance. Packaging and contents: The package includes 4 g of MX-6 thermal paste along with ARCTIC MX Cleaner wipes, which is convenient for removing old paste before application. The syringe design allows for controlled dispensing without excess waste. Application experience: MX-6 is easy to apply and spreads evenly under mounting pressure. The consistency is slightly thicker than some pastes, which helps keep it in place during installation without making it difficult to work with. Thermal performance: After installation, CPU temperatures were stable and slightly improved compared to the older paste it replaced. Idle and load temperatures remained consistent during extended use, with no noticeable pump-out or degradation over time. Ease of maintenance: The included cleaner simplifies prep work, and the paste does not harden quickly, making future removal manageable. Limitations: This is not a liquid metal compound, so users seeking maximum possible thermal performance may want to look elsewhere. For most air- and liquid-cooled setups, however, performance is more than sufficient. Overall experience: MX-6 has performed reliably in daily use and provided consistent thermal results without complications during installation. Conclusion: ARCTIC MX-6 is a solid choice for routine CPU or GPU thermal paste replacement, offering easy application, dependable performance, and useful included cleaning materials.

This is one of the best thermal pastes I’ve used. Application is smooth and precise with the included applicator, and it spreads evenly. The cooling performance is great — I noticed a drop in CPU temperatures almost immediately. What really impressed me was the included cleaner — very effective at removing old paste cleanly without damaging components. If you’re doing a PC build or upgrade, this kit is a no-brainer. Great value and performance.

The thermal paste is quite thick, because of this I used a lot of it thinking I would need it, in any case, it works very well, my temperatures dropped quite a lot and have remained stable. The cleaning wipes are amazing, they simply destroy the old thermal paste, even if it is hard and stuck to the CPU/Cooler. The complaints about the smell are a bit exaggerated if you compare it to how well the product works, in my case the smell only lasted about a day, it is indeed relatively strong but it just smells like cleaning products. I recommend that you dispose of the wipes in a bag that you then close to properly dispose of them and the smell, that little wipe WILL keep the smell for quite some time (people are probably throwing the used wipes in a nearby bin and that's why they can't get rid of the smell)

Cools down my cpu very well. The smell kinda lingers because of the wipes it comes with, but overall very useful. comes with a good amount, but I had trouble spreading it out on the cpu.

I recently took the CPU cooling fan off the CPU on my computer, to clean all the dust out of the cooking fins, so I decided to get fresh thermal paste to put it back together. This worked perfectly. The kit had everything needed, it was easy to apply, and now the fan is keeping the CPU temperature down, without having to run at full speed.

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.

For 10 dollars I think its worth having the cleaning wipes since its a pain to clean without them, it works well to keep my CPU cool and there's more then enough then just 1 CPU. No issues whatsoever although time will have to tell if it doesn't dry up.

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.

He actualizado de un 2700X a un 5700X utilizando el ventilador de serie Wraith Prism, y parece que las temperaturas son buenas. La aplicación que hice fue en forma de X sobre el procesador, aunque no quedó lo bien que quería ya que me costó meter el ventilador y rozó unas cuantas veces antes de poder asentarlo. Aún asi creo que no quedó mal. Las toallitas que trae son de utilidad, con una tienes de sobra, las demás las puedes guardar. Con una temperatura en casa de 26ºC y una humedad relativa del 72%. En idle el procesador ronda los 36.6ºC y en prueba de estrés ronda los 63.2ºC con picos de 68.4ºC tras 10 minutos de prueba. No le hice estas pruebas al anterior procesador, pero al quitarlo vi que la pasta térmica que traia el Wraith Prism preinstalada estaba seca tras 6 años y era de mala calidad. Nunca habia visto que se formaran como piedrecillas duras. En resumen, las temperaturas como puedes ver creo que son excelentes solo falta por ver si se mantiene en el tiempo. ---- Actualización tras aplicación a GPU: Llevo con una 2080 RTX desde su salida, y hacia un importante ruido de turbina con juegos exigentes desde siempre. Pensaba y leía que era normal que llegara a los 80ºC, por lo que estuve conviviendo con ello, pese a que cuando se ponía a tope apenas podía escuchar el juego si lo tenía bajo. Yo creía que la potencia y la caja, que no es muy abierta y de tamaño compacto como a mi me gustan (Fractal Design Define C Compact), tenían mucho que ver con ese ruido de turbina a poco que se le exigiera. Total, que ya puestos me he atrevido a desmontarla y aplicar esta misma pasta térmica sobre la GPU y ha habido sorpresas: Con una temperatura en casa de 23ºC y una humedad relativa del 78%. En idle, o sea en Windows sin hacer nada exigente, la temperatura se sitúa sobre los 35ºC, al 100% de uso llega a 63ºC con undervolt y 71ºC de stock. La forma de aplicar la pasta ha sido un tanto extraña, no se por qué me ha dado por ahí. Primero una capa fina que he expandido con el dedo para que cubra todo y luego una X fina también. Al no ser conductiva de la electricidad, y al ser un rollo bastante grande desmontar la gráfica por tantos tornillos del backplate, me curé en salud para no desmontarla otra vez. Total, que me ha bajado la temperatura unos 15ºC de media. Por lo cual deduzco que la pasta térmica original estaba defectuosa. Mi ordenador se ha vuelto silencioso, ya ni se escuchan los ventiladores jugando al RDR2 ni al juego que sea, por lo cual estoy super contento. Me encanta mi caja y no quería cambiarla, ahora sé que no es necesario.

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

Estoy muy satisfecho con la pasta térmica. Anteriormente utilicé una de otra marca un poco más económica, sin embargo, mi portátil llegaba a temperaturas mayores a los 90°C. Recién utilicé esta pasta térmica y mi portátil no ha superado los 60°C bajo las mismas condiciones y demandas. Las toallas húmedas que trae para limpiar la pasta anterior funcionan muy bien y dejan un aroma agradable.

Os cleaners são cheirosos demais kkkkk podiam vender aromatizador de ambientes
