MX-6 (4 g incl. Cleaner)

The Arctic MX-6 thermal paste is fantastic! I’ve used it for a few builds now, and I haven’t had any issues at all. It applies smoothly and provides great thermal conductivity, keeping my CPU temps low and stable. The included cleaner is a nice touch, making it easy to remove old paste before applying the new one. The performance is consistent, and I’ve noticed no overheating or thermal throttling. Definitely a reliable choice for anyone looking for a high-quality thermal paste. Highly recommended!

I bought this as I would normally have used the mx-4 paste which is normally picked up for pretty cheap and is a great piece of paste. I bought this as it's the newest version which claims to be better at passing heat to the heatsink. I can safely say that this is much better than the already great mx-4. So far I've used it on a couple of gaming PCs and servers. I wasn't expecting this to have too much of an impact on reducing cpu temps, however after applying this, I can say I'm seeing temps drop as much as 20 degrees. I must admit the 20 degree drop was from a used gaming pc that had horrendous paste applied previously which most likely wasn't changed at all. On my servers I'm seeing a good 7-10 degree drop in CPU temp. This is fantastic. The kit comes in a little box with the syringe of paste as well as a little pack of cleaning wipes. These made quick work of cleaning CPUs completely, I would normally use separate thermal paste cleaners and primers, however this kit was so handy, the wipes clean off paste as quick as a hot knife through butter. They smell like lemon and if you've used any similar cleaner then you'll know the smell. I think it's great. All in all. Very happy with the product, will certainly be my go to as thermal paste from now on. From this pack I've changed 4 CPUs and there is obviously still lots left. The paste itself isn't watery, it's not too thick either and spreads fantastic. There isn't a spatula to spread the paste, I personally don't use them but I know some would prefer this method. I just go for the blob in the middle and let the heatsinks spread it evenly.

Wipes worked great. Very strong smell tho so please be advised to not inhale the fumes. MX-6 by itself for CPU purposes works wonders. HOWEVER i would not recommend this for GPU repasting, which i had done last month (July) It's been a little over a month now since my GPU re-paste and its starting to show bad signs, ive gained around 3c-7c on average during gaming load. The PC is on 24/7 so not quite as bad as of an effect for thermal cycles as the PC is rarely off for prolonged periods of time. Dont get the wrong impression with this review tho. MX-6 works great. just do not use it for GPU repasting. Ultimately this is just advise. you do you. my GPU is old at this point so the mounting pressure is ultimately most likely crap. would still advise PTM7950.

Review of Thermal Paste with Cleaning Wipes I’ve used this thermal paste for some time now, and overall, it performs exceptionally well. However, there are a couple of things worth mentioning—one being a personal gripe and the other something that could have been improved. Performance First and foremost, the thermal paste does its job. After application, I noticed consistently low temperatures, which is exactly what you want from a product like this. Compared to other thermal pastes I’ve tried, this one stands out for its effectiveness, keeping my components cool and stable under load. The Smell of the Alcohol Wipes Here’s where my personal gripe comes in: the smell from the alcohol wipes included with the paste is very strong. I’m not sure if the potency is necessary to clean off old thermal paste effectively, but it’s something to be aware of. Unfortunately, I made the mistake of not immediately disposing of the used wipes after use. The lingering smell in my room was overwhelming and awful—definitely a lesson learned! Pricing While the paste works great, I feel the price is slightly on the higher side. For the performance it offers, it’s reasonable, but a bit of a price drop would make it more accessible to a wider audience. Pros Excellent Cooling: Keeps temperatures impressively low, even under heavy usage. Included Wipes: Convenient for cleaning off old paste, although they come with their own drawback (see below). Cons Strong Smell: The alcohol wipes have an overpowering odor, and failing to dispose of them immediately can make the smell linger in your space. Price: Slightly expensive compared to some other options on the market. Final Thoughts This thermal paste delivers great results, and I’m very happy with its cooling performance. However, the strong smell from the wipes and the slightly high price keep it from being perfect in my eyes. That said, if cooling performance is your top priority, this is a solid choice that won’t disappoint. 4/5 Stars: Excellent thermal performance, but the wipes’ smell and pricing could be improved.

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.

exactement conforme à mes attentes. Livraison rapide et soignée. Je recommande !

Muito boa pasta térmica, funciona como esperado, e as toalhitas são muito boas para limpar pasta que tenha que retirar, muito bom pack..

Os cleaners são cheirosos demais kkkkk podiam vender aromatizador de ambientes
