ARCTIC MX-6 (8 g) - Ultimate Performance Thermal Paste for CPU, Consoles, Graphics Cards, laptops, Very high Thermal Conductivity, Long Durability, Non-Conductive

Excellent paste. In addition to a new cooler, dropped my temps by around 15 degrees Celsius.Easy to apply, but more viscous than competitors, so be careful when applying. Cleanup is easy with alcohol wipes.Bought this on recommendation from some hardware websites.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:It's thermal paste. Get's the job done. Very gooey but spreads nicely when heatsinks get put on. Pasted my old PS4 Pro, a PS3, and 2 computers with plenty of paste left to spare in this 8g tube. So far everything runs fine and nothing overheats. My PS4 Pro also no longer sounds like a jet engine when running games. Very good for computers and older consoles with active cooling systems.

The ARCTIC MX-6 helped me effectively solve an overheating issue with my laptop. Before applying it, the CPU temperatures were reaching close to 90°C, which was negatively affecting performance. After cleaning and applying the new thermal paste, temperatures dropped to around 70°C under load a noticeable and very welcome improvement.It’s worth noting that the paste is a bit thicker than expected, so applying it takes a little more care and patience. I recommend using a spatula to spread it evenly and ensure full coverage of the chip surface.Overall, the MX-6 did exactly what I needed. It significantly reduced temperatures and improved thermal stability. While the application is slightly more involved, the results are absolutely worth it. Highly recommended if you're dealing with overheating problems.

The media could not be loaded. After running my AIO with the pre-applied thermal paste for about a year and a half, I decided it was finally time to repaste and go with something new. I’d never used Arctic MX-6 before, but the results honestly impressed me. Coming from the original factory paste, this was a clear upgrade.The consistency is thicker than most thermal pastes I’ve used, but it’s still manageable. If you’re careful, you can definitely use a spatula to apply it smoothly (though it doesn’t come with one in the box). Once the cooler block is seated, the paste seems to settle and spread very quickly with good pressure.After installation, I saw immediate drops in temps—roughly 7 to 10°C lower under both idle and heavy load. That’s on a system running a heavy static overclock, so for me, those gains were huge. Definitely worth the re-paste if your system’s been running for a while and you're starting to notice thermal creep.Solid upgrade. Would recommend for anyone pushing their CPU hard or just looking to refresh an aging AIO.

very thick, must have patience but is running a 9000k overclocked to 5.10 ghz at stable temperatures without having to worry about paste touching components do to it being non conductive , The MX-4 is easier spreadable but cleaning is a breeze with the artic cooling 2 pack thermal remover. Paste quality is at par for what people need for todays high end cpu's and gpu's. I believe that it works very well with everything I have used it on. Meffort to apply properly.

Arctic makes good quality thermal paste. I bought this and the MX-4. Both of them work well if you have to re-paste your CPU and GPU. It's a good price, good quality and it keeps my laptop running cool when I do maintenance on the heatsink for my laptop.

Applied it on my Switch lite and I hardly hear the fan at all anymore. I can definitely recommend this, and from research it is said to last up to 8 years without drying out, it's a set and forget it type of thing. so yeah go for it. I highly recommend the 8g one though, its a better value for money and you can apply it to multiple devices

Wow. This stuff is thick. It isn't messing around. I have no doubt this will last 5 years, keep temps cool through then, and likely even still be soft to the touch. Ha! That would be cool to see. Easy to [spread] apply, it'll last a while, and it'll keep things cool. No worries across the board.
