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

Coming from the old Arctic Silver products, this stuff is a pain to spread, so I quite trying and just add the usual "X" shaped application and it's worked great when compressed. Temps are always competitively low.

I think some people might be overstating the smell issue a bit. Yeah, the cleaning wipes have a definite odor. I don't even think it's that bad of a smell honestly. I threw the wipes away when I was done with them and I couldn't even smell them in the trash the next day. Not a big deal. Anyway, I've bought a couple of (somewhat) inexpensive mini pc's from Topton because I'm ridiculous and I like to tinker. Since I had to open them up anyway (I had bought RAM and SSD's separately rather than buy it bundled), the first thing I did was clean the paste off of the cooler and cpu, and reapply using this Arctic MX6. The cleaning wipes were excellent, one wipe per CPU was enough to completely remove any paste on the cpus and the coolers. Reapplying was equally simple, after the surface had dried from the wipes, put a bead on the CPU and slowly replace the cooler on top. The one with the Ryzen 7 5825U has a couple of fans, and used to idle in the low 40's C, but now seems to hover around 36C at idle. Maxing it out at 100% usage, it took several minutes to heat up to 80C, at which point the power management kicked in and slowed it down to 2.6GHz until it cooled to about 65C. The Ryzen 7 7730U seemed to perform even better, especially considering that's a fanless system that just uses a chunk of copper and a finned aluminum exterior to dissipate heat.

Replaced my cpu and bought this thermal paste for my new cpu. Works great and easy application. Before putting away my old one, the wipes cleaned up the old thermal paste great. Have not had any heating issues with my cpu and temps are running normal. Good thermal paste.

Stuff is amazing would definitely recommend. But boy does the cleaning wipes stink and lingers lol. Make sure to use this in a very well ventilated area.

Certainly gets the job done. Keeps temperatures low, and it’s a solid price. I can’t attest to how well it’ll hold up yet, but I have high hopes. Several people have complained about the smell of the wipes, and while they have a strong “cleaning supply” kind of smell, it’s over exaggerated and can easily be negated by just putting them in a bag and then disposing of them after use.

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.

Our Xbox One X was bought used. The seller claimed he "upgraded" it, which I'm sure his intentions were good. The execution, however... Problems first started when playing Lego Marvel Heroes 2: at a certain cut-scene early in the game, the console would just shut down. When I rebooted, it said it did so to prevent overheating. Happened every single time during the same cut-scene. The fan on the console sounded like a mini jet engine as well. Tried a few other games, i.e.: Lego Incredibles, Disneyland Adventures, Lego Star Wars Skywalker Saga... The console fan was either working overtime, or it would just shut down. I decided to open up the console and peek inside. All the components looked ok. I then looked at the cooling fan, heat sink... Some dust, blew it out. Then I took off the heat sink, and thermal paste was everywhere EXCEPT where it should be; the main cpu. It looked like a thin layer was on it, but most of it got pushed out to the other areas on the board (strings of it were all over the heat sink). Did some research, found this was a fairly issue. The fix: re-apply thermal paste. I've never done this before, so it was a bit intimidating. Bought this product with the wipes, and took my time cleaning off the old paste. Applied the Arctic mx-6, re-assembled the Xbox, crossed my fingers and hooked it up. Started up The Skywalker Saga; practically whisper quiet. Some areas of the game made the fan spin up faster than others, but nowhere near as bad as before the fix. Incredibles didn't crash. Haven't tried the other games yet, but so far we've played for several hours and haven't had the console shut down or heard the fan nearly as bad as it was. The wipes work amazingly well. Yes, there's a smell. It's not unpleasant, but it definitely lingers (make sure to throw them outside when you're done. If they are sitting in your trash can inside, you'll never get rid of the odor). Overall, couldn't be happier and our Xbox One X is running like a champ!

Bought this because my PC was loud and running hot. Slapped this on both my CPU and GPU and now it’s completely silent and is super cool now. Definitely recommend it with the wipes as well.. they came in handy.

Super pasta, chusteczki w zestawie świetnie działają i nawet przyjemnie pachną! Świetne przewodzenie, dobra ilość i jakość.

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.

Die ARCTIC MX-6 ist eine leistungsstarke Wärmeleitpaste, die ich für meinen Gaming-PC mit einem Ryzen 7 9800X3D und einer be quiet! Light Loop 360mm AIO verwendet habe. Nach einigen Tests und Erfahrungen kann ich sagen: Diese Paste ist absolut hochwertig - wenn man sie richtig anwendet! --Verarbeitung & Anwendung - Keine Spatelverteilung nötig!-- Ein häufiger Kritikpunkt in den Bewertungen ist die hohe Viskosität der Paste. Ja, die MX-6 ist dickflüssiger als andere Pasten, aber genau das ist beabsichtigt! Sie bleibt stabil auf der CPU, verläuft nicht und sorgt für eine langlebige, gleichmäßige Wärmeübertragung. Wichtige Klarstellung hierzu: Diese Paste ist nicht dafür gedacht, mit einem Spatel verteilt zu werden! Der beste Weg ist die Erbsenmethode: Einfach einen kleinen Punkt in die Mitte der CPU setzen und den Kühler mit normalem Anpressdruck darauf montieren. Die Paste verteilt sich dabei von selbst perfekt. Nicht mit einem Spatel verstreichen! Das kann zu ungleichmäßiger Verteilung oder Luftblasen führen. Durch die hohe Viskosität bleibt sie dort, wo sie hingehört, ohne sich bei der Montage zu verflüssigen oder auszulaufen. Ich habe die Paste genau so aufgetragen und meine Temperaturen sind absolut top: ✔ Idle: 35 - 40°C ✔ Gaming: 40 - 60°C ✔ 3DMark/FurMark/Prime95 Stresstest: Unter 80°C Das zeigt, dass die Wärmeübertragung einwandfrei funktioniert und die Paste perfekt aufgetragen wurde. --Reinigungstücher - Effektiv, aber geruchsintensiv-- Die mitgelieferten MX Cleaner Tücher haben ihre Aufgabe gut erledigt: Sie entfernen alte Wärmeleitpaste problemlos und hinterlassen eine saubere, fettfreie Oberfläche. Ja, sie haben einen starken chemischen Geruch, aber das ist normal für alkoholbasierte Reinigungstücher. Alternativ könnte man auch Isopropanol (90%+) verwenden, aber die mitgelieferten Tücher sind eine praktische Lösung. --Fazit - Exzellente Wärmeleitpaste für die richtige Anwendung-- ✔ Hohe Wärmeleitfähigkeit & exzellente Kühlleistung ✔ Langfristig stabil dank hoher Viskosität - kein Auslaufen oder Austrocknen ✔ Ideal für High-End-CPUs, Grafikkarten & Laptops ✔ Richtige Anwendung (Erbsenmethode) sorgt für perfekte Ergebnisse X Nicht mit einem Spatel verstreichen - das ist nicht nötig! X Reinigungstücher haben einen chemischen Geruch, aber funktionieren gut Klare Empfehlung für alle, die eine High-Performance-Wärmeleitpaste suchen - aber sie richtig anwenden!

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.
