## Overview

ARCTIC MX-6 is a premium thermal paste engineered for professionals seeking superior cooling efficiency. With 20% better thermal conductivity than its predecessor, it ensures lower CPU and GPU temperatures immediately after application. Its non-conductive, non-capacitive formula guarantees safe, risk-free use across a wide range of devices including PCs, consoles, and laptops. Designed for long-term stability without drying or bleeding, MX-6 comes with an authenticity check to protect your investment and maintain peak performance.

## Description

Product Description 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. We measured the absolute thermal resistance of both pastes on our lab-testing machine, which is much more accurate than a CPU. Two factors are mainly relevant -Conductivity -Minimum Bond Line thickness A lower thermal resistance of the paste leads to a lower temperature difference between CPU and cooler. 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.

Review: Best price performance ratio - Application was easy, nice consistency, not too runny and not overly thick either. It spreads well and doesn’t make a mess. The 4g tube is more than enough for a couple of installs, which is nice. After applying it, I saw a noticeable drop in temps compared to what I was using before. Under load, everything stays cooler and stable, which gives me a bit more peace of mind. Overall, solid performance and easy to work with. I’d definitely use it again for future builds.
Review: Does exactly what it’s meant to - Very good product and does what it’s supposed to. Easy to apply and works well for keeping temperatures under control. Used it on a CPU and saw stable temps with no issues. Good quality thermal paste and a reliable choice if you’re building or maintaining a system.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What is the shelf life?**
A: 1000 years

**Q: How does it compare to Arctic Silver 5?**
A: Arctic silver is conductive and MX6 is non conductive. Not a good idea using conductive paste.

**Q: What is the thermal conductivity expressed in w/mk? other paste show in the description 12.8 w/mk for example, more w/mk is better to dissipate heat.**
A: Why doesn’t ARCTIC communicate thermal conductivity values?
ARCTIC made a conscious decision not to specify any values for the thermal conductivity of its thermal paste and thermal pads, because many manufacturers invent, artificially inflate or embellish this value. Thermal paste has a thermal conductivity of 1 to 4 W/mK. Values outside of this range, such as 12.5 W/mK, are at odds with the truth.
Many competitors quote values above 4 W/mK to suggest better performance. This often leads to false expectations and dissatisfied users.
ARCTIC offers its customers innovative thermal interface materials at the best possible price-performance ratio instead of relying on manipulated performance data.

**Q: What is the difference between the mx-5 and mx-6? they both claimed 20% better than mx-4.**
A: Each new model is a 20% upgrade over the last. MX-6 being the better. The others are now out of production, so any bought are from left over stock and are encroaching upon their expiration date ( Not anytime soon)

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Does exactly what it’s meant to
*by U***K on 8 January 2026*

Very good product and does what it’s supposed to. Easy to apply and works well for keeping temperatures under control. Used it on a CPU and saw stable temps with no issues. Good quality thermal paste and a reliable choice if you’re building or maintaining a system.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good performing thermal paste.
*by M***W on 6 March 2025*

This is a good quality thermal paste. Applied this to a Ryzen 7 9700X, with a good quality cooler, and the CPU rarely goes close to 50 degrees C. This obviously also depends on the load on the CPU but with a cheaper thermal paste it was frequently getting to 60 or higher under the same work conditions. The paste is quite thick and can be quite hard to get out of the applicator but with sufficient pressure it will release the paste. There is plenty of paste in the syringe for multiple applications. If you use all of the paste in a single application then you have put way too much on. While the MX-6 is a little more expensive than some other thermal paste it is worth it as, from my experience, it does help to transfer the heat from the CPU better than the cheaper pastes.
