ARCTIC MX-6 (8 g) - Ultimate Performance Thermal Paste for CPU, consoles, graphics cards, laptops, very high thermal conductivity, long durability, non-conductive, non-capacitive

Good quality paste, easy to apply, getting better temperatures out of my CPU cooler than the stock applied paste. Functions exactly as expected, I've used this paste before and it's usually good for at least a year, even if you're fanatical about replacing your thermal paste regularly. Not too sticky and plenty of longevity.

I replaced and old liquid cooler with an air cooler (scythe mugen 6) recently on a 12600K/5070ti in a panoramic case (front and side are glass, so airflow is not good). While playing around with the new cooler I also swapped the paste from scythe to this arctic, I expected some change, but didn't notice much of a difference (properly cleaned with IPA etc) - I guess both paste are good. Just for reference my system is now using air cooling with the mugen 6 cooler, added 4 noctua chassis fans, fan curves are relaxed, all fans runs 20% till 55C, 60% between 55-75 and gradually increasing to 100% after that. System idles 32-35C in a warmish office and basically silent with all fans running on 20%, stays under 55C while doing office work, stays under 70C when stressing both CPU and GPU on max wattage with furmark and cpu-z, this is ofc not silent anymore I can hear the air being pushed around, but it does not go above 70C and overall much quiter than my old liquid cooler. So overall, the thermal paste seems to do its job, but I expected a bit more compared to the other one cuz of the hype and winning tests etc...

I've been an avid user of Arctic thermal paste ever since the silver days and as expected this worked exactly as expected. I have used this on several systems over the past 3 years and so far I have had zero issues, each system where MX6 was used to replace the stock thermal paste saw a temperature drop of around 6c (Although this is normally because the manufacturer paste was nasty) I have used the paste on direct die installations such as GPUs and the Intel CPUs inside the MS-01 and I have also used it on various laptop CPUs and desktop CPUs without any major issue of leakout or drying/cracking I'm sure there are better pastes on the market and for a long term installation such as servers or GPUs I would recommend PTM 7950s but for the price I don't think this is a bad paste and it is easy enough to apply

Great genuine product. Works great.

Whilst there is a performance boost in terms of thermals, but it's quite difficult to spread, which makes sense compared to mx4. However cost even though is a bit higher might be negligible to someone who does need that 3-4 degrees of improvement. Although I've only seen this in some pretty specific environments. It's great, but I wouldn't say it's much different from mx4.

My favourite thermal paste to use. Noticeably dropped my temps compared to MX-4, lasts ages in my systems, easy to use and spread, easy to clean off with IPA and functions just how you would expect.

What is there to say about Artic thermal paste. I normally get MX-4 but this was on offer with extra 4g thrown in and it works. Pushed i9 990k cpu all cores maxed out and it did reduce temperatures but really negligible. If its on sale with double amount of paste then get it otherwise stick to the MX-4.

I have astonished by the thermal permanence of this paste. Can easily keep my 5800x3d cool under pressure.

Good

Rien à signaler. Fonctionne parfaitement, aucun soucis. Honnêtement, 8g de pâte thermique aussi bien pour ce prix, c'est donné.

Sigue siendo mi pasta térmica de confianza recientemente me ha bajado más de 15 grados, de unos 55º a 40º en un mini pc con proxmox que tiene 2 VM y 10 LCX la bajada de temp fue increíble!

Soy un feliz cliente de la marca Artic, llevo años usando la mx-4 siendo una pasta térmica exelente que permanece en buen estado tras 2 o 3 años de haber sido aplicada, en el equipo con mejor duración de pasta térmica que eh tenido a sido una PC con 4 años desde que se aplico la pasta mx-4 y al hacer mantenimiento la pasta seguía con buena viscosidad,por lo que doy fe de que esta marca es de las mejores. Ahora bien está Mx-6 es un upgrade interesante ya que disminuye las temperaturas entre 4 a 7 grados respecto a la mx-4, dependerá de la refrigeración que uno tenga pero si es mejor conductora térmicamente hablado, es mucho más espesa y difícil de aplicar, por lo que recomiendo sumergir la jeringa con su tapa puesta en un vaso o recipiente con agua tibia unos 5 minutos para que así el contenido se suavice y sea más fácil aplicar y trabajar con el. Viniendo de la mx-4 teniendo esa grata experiencia de que es una solución de calidad y muy fiable, no me queda la menor duda de que está mx-6 me dará una experiencia similar. Ahora solo queda ver qué durabilidad obtendre de esta mx-6. Si tienen la posibilidad elijan la opción de 8g ya que es muy durable y siempre viene bien tener de sobra para hacer los mantenimientos o si tienen consolas o laptops les puede servir para el mantenimiento y cambio de pasta térmica. Además que por el costó si la encuentran barata no tendrán que comprar pasta térmica en un buen rato.
