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.

Works great for both the liquid cooler for my CPU and the heatsink on the graphics card

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!

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.

Works very well and met my expectations. I needed it for an older Cisco Switch that is fanless. I needed to redo the paste. The cleaning solution works fantastic, BUT keep IN MIND, it is fairly strong smell. Does a fantastic job though. If you need to depend on something, this is the solution. I have been in IT / IS since the early 8086-2 days.

This paste. It's great bang for your buck. It'll go on your CPU or what-have-you, and it'll even help thermal transfer to the CPU cooler, thus decreasing the operating temperature of your hardware, increasing its capacity and longevity.

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.

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

Qualidade ótima, vale muito a pena, só está tudo em inglês

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.

Pâte thermique de très bonne qualité. J'utilisais une autre marque avant celle-ci. Mais depuis que je l'ai, il va être difficile de changer pour une autre. Elle est facile à étaler. Un point de la taille d'un gros grain de riz au milieu du CPU et elle s’étalera facilement lors de la mise en place du ventirad ou autres. Perso je change la pâte tout les 6 moins sur les 3 PC qui équipe la maison, mais avec la ARTIC MX-6 vous pouvez facilement le faire une fois par an. Et vu la quantité qu'il y a et que vous mettez, vous en aurez pour un bon moment.
