    Simply the Paste

    The ARCTIC MX-6 is a carbon filler-based thermal paste and reaches its maximum performance without burn-in, directly after application and distribution. It achieves all of this without any reputed ingredients, such as expensive diamond dust or various precious metal particles. The silicone gel used as a carrier enables optimal distribution, which is achieved through even contact pressure, for example when mounting the heat sink.

    20 % better performance

    With its improved composition, the ARCTIC MX-6 has a measurably lower thermal resistance than the MX-4. The basis for calculation is the temperature difference between the cooler base and the heat source (in C) in relation to the applied heat load (in W), which also results in the unit K/W. The higher the thermal resistance, the worse the heat can be transferred through the TIM layer. Thermal insulators, as an example, therefore always have a particularly high thermal resistance, while thermal interface materials usually have a particularly low one.

    Proven quality

    We are proud of our thermal pastes. With over 20 years of experience in the PC cooling market the MX-6 was developed with the goal to offer a first-class product. The optimized formula is based on the MX-4. The focus was on versatile application possibilities and an easy-to-use consistency.

    Versatile range of applications

    With its new composition, MX-6 is the suitable thermal compound for many application scenarios. Excellent non-drying and non-bleeding properties ensure consistent long-term performance. Its viscosity prevents leakage due to the pump-out effect. It's also suitable for direct-die cooling scenarios which occur, for example, with graphics cards or console processor GPUs.

    100 % original through Authenticity Check

    To ensure that your paste is genuine, there is the ARCTIC Authenticity Check. This allows every product to be reliably verified. A counterfeit offers neither the performance nor the durability of the original ARCTIC pastes.

    Easy application

    MX-6 is neither electrically conductive nor capacitive. This eliminates the risk of short circuits or discharges, which can cause serious damage to components if care is not taken. The thermal paste is also free of liquid metal components, which can often lead to discoloration, abrasion or corrosion damage to the radiator bottom.

    Available in several versions

    ARCTIC MX-6 is available in package sizes from 2 to 8 grams. Resealable syringes prevent the paste from drying out and facilitate dispensing. Alternatively, the variants with MX Cleaner are available. These enable simple and residue-free cleaning of the contact surfaces. The cleaner consists of 100% Limonene, a natural substance obtained from citrus essential oil.

    So initially I thought my cooling issue was my AIO cooler from MSI. But before pulling the trigger on a $150+ cooler I figured I roll my dice with some new thermal paste. All I can say is it literally dropped my temperatures like 15+ degrees in game before my temps would rise to like 65-75c and now they stay at 44c and I have yet to see them rise above 50c and trust me I know that sounds impossible by the proof lays before your eyes. Will 100% be purchasing again in the future! GREAT JOB ARCTIC❄️

    The order arrived the following day after placing it, and included a cpu, water cooler setup, GPU, etc.

    I used this thermal paste to install my water cooling apparatus to my Ryzen 5800x3d. Everything booted up on the first try and the cpu is running well under the recommended specs. I don’t have any long term data or benchmarking comparisons to share, but I do believe this type of thermal paste makes a measurable difference with CPU temps. It was easy to use and there’s enough in the tube to do probably 2 or 3 dozen computers. Price was great as well. Zero complaints on my end.

    I applied the MX-6 thermal paste to a friend's MSI gaming laptop, and it worked really nicely at transferring the heat from the CPU and GPU to the heatsinks to help the laptop stay cool. I also applied the MX-6 thermal paste to my personal laptop (Dell XPS 13 9310 2-in-1) and the thermal paste also worked out quite well.
    It is important to know that MX-6 is a thermal paste and not a miracle worker. Its job is to transfer heat from the heat generating components to the cooling system. For the Dell laptop I mentioned earlier, it transferred heat efficiently and effectively. What wasn't effective enough was the cooling system on the laptop.

    MX-6 is very easy to spread and apply, and smoothing the thermal paste out evenly is a snap with the assistance of a plastic card. The thermal paste is standard gray in color and should be enough to re-thermal paste several laptops and desktops.

    Overall, excellent performance and easy application.

    Note: I do not know how long the thermal paste will last, if it will cake up or do any other fun stuff. What I do know is that it works quite well at the moment, after 1 month of application.

    Reviewed in the United States on May 8, 2024
    It works but not really any better than the stock paste that comes with Noctua and Thermalright coolers.

    I just did a series of tests using these items: Date: 05/07/2024

    ARCTIC MX-6 $6.55
    TF7 Thermal Compound Paste - included
    Noctua NT-H1 Thermal Computer Paste - included
    Thermalright Peerless Assassin 120 SE Cooler $33.90
    Noctua NH-D9L, Premium CPU Cooler $54.95

    Configs and results:
    1. Noctua NH-D9L with Noctua NT-H1: Started here. I was getting about 35C to 38C Idle on the CPU with the fan at 950ish rpm. When I did the multi core CPU test on Cinebench 2024 the temp would jump up to the 100C throttle temp almost immediately and would bounce right at that for the duration of the 10 minute test. The fan ramped up to 2000rpm for the duration.
    2. Noctua NH-D9L with ARCTIC MX-6: The Artic paste dropped my idle temp down a bit to 34C to 36C. All other tests had the same results as the 1st test.
    3. Thermalright PA with TF7: Got a really nice drop here down to 28C to 30C idle with the fans spinning at 720 rpm. When running Cinebench it did eventually get to the 100C throttle, but it was about 5 minutes into the 10 minute test before it did. The temp was generally bouncing around 90C throughout the test. The 2 fans got up to 1550 ish rpm and were much quieter than the single Noctua fan.
    4. Thermalright PA with ARCTIC MX-6: The change in paste had no effect on thermals or fan speeds over the TF7.

    Bonus: I replaced the 2 fans that came with the Thermalright PA with 2 be quiet! Pure Wings 3 120mm Quiet PWM I ordered for a case. This had no effect on the thermals but the fan speeds are slightly slower at 700 rpm idle and 1500 rpm under Cinebench. More importantly, they run noticeably quieter. Under standard use I cannot hear them at all.

    Takeaway 1: For $35 the Thermalright PA is a fantastic cooler and the larger dual fans make it quieter than the Noctua NH-D9L. I do like the size of the NH-D9L but for a gaming system the Thermalright PA will be my new go to.

    Takeaway 2: CPU Grease makes much less of a difference than I thought. Maybe it is just the ones I tried but the reviews on the Artic MX-6 were stellar yet it barely did better than the Noctua NT-H1 that came with the cooler and didn’t do any better than the TF7 that came with the Thermalright PA. Save your money here and use it to buy better fans.

    CPU is an Intel i7-14700kf on a GIGABYTE Z790 Eagle AX Motherboard with an 850 watt EVGA Power Supply if you want to know.

    Easy to apply, and dropped my CPU temps by a few degrees (vs the old paste).

    Time will tell if this lasts or suffers from drying out or any "pump out" issues. But initial results look promising.

    Other thoughts: I applied using the five dots method (one in each corner and a slightly larger one in the middle; usually pea fixed amount in center).

    Used on an i5-9th gen & gtx1650 laptop to replace dried up paste. It lowered the idle temps from around 55-65C, to around 35-40C. Fans also don’t need to kick in anywhere near as much while light gaming. Great performance for the price.
