ARCTIC MX-6 (4 g) - Ultimate Performance Thermal Paste for CPU, Consoles, Graphics Cards, laptops, Very high Thermal Conductivity, Long Durability, Non-Conductive

I had been using Arctic MX-4 compound for years, and when I built my new PC I also upgraded to MX-6. Arctic carries on it's great tradition of amazing thermal paste with MX-6. While I don't have an apples to apples comparison with MX-4 (new CPU is using MX-6) I can say that the temps on my 9950X using MX-6 are better than the temps on my 5950X using MX-4. I found it relatively easy to apply and very similar consistency to MX-4 (maybe a bit thicker, I didn't do a side by side comparison).I highly recommend Arctic thermal products and pastes to anyone looking for a solid and reliable performer!

Keeps my 9800x3D idle temps at 32. Works great, but was very frustrating to spread. It’s thicker than previous pastes I’ve used.

I used this on my Acer Nitro 7 Laptop. The fans were loud and I needed to clean the saw dust and dust bunnies out. I learned from ChatGPT that once a separation is made of the existing thermal paste it’s best to clean it up and reapply. If the same old paste is used, gaps may be created and the contact points won’t be complete. I picked up a 35.00 tool kit to remove the small screws. Got some isopropyl alcohol and Qtips to remove the old pink paste. Watched two YouTube videos explaining the process. My computer runs great! The syringe gives great control during application. The texture and thickness helps gauge how much it’ll spread when contact points are reattached. It comes with a cap, so the remaining paste doesn’t dry out. Great amount for the price.

Bought this for a new system build after my old desktop failed.Decided to try it on my laptop too because why not.My laptop, an older G7 7700 has notoriously bad cooling and thermal throttles really bad unless its underclocked (or just turn off turbo boost)It would frequently lag out or crash games outright, even cause a system restart more oft than not.No cooling pad could help this, as the fans and heatsinks in it are just awful.This paste tho.. I applied it and it actually stays below throttling temps now. Granted only by a few degrees, but I wasn't expecting miracles.Even without the cooling pad now tho, the laptop is actually usable with the turbo mode enabled and keeps cool enough to function during long gaming sessions on it!The only tough part is spreading it properly, as this paste is more like a clay and def won't work with the press down methods normally used in the past. You will need to spread it using a spatula or finger to get it on nice and even.That aside, it works bloody brilliantly. I'm actually impressed this did the trick as I wasn't expecting much, but figured I'd try it anyway and it really works super well over my old corsair TM30

Very good amounts of thermal paste and it works just as good as the Grizzly Kraynout. Especially if it's hard to reach your AIO screws that are attached to your CPU. Be decent with the amount of paste you put, currently my CPU is running at around 35° c on average.

Ive used MX-4 paste for a long time, and I figured I may as well "upgrade" my paste with my new CPU. This stuff is way thinner than MX-4, and it made it a bit hard to put the cooler on as it kept trying to slip. Ultimately, it's slightly better, so I'm glad I put it on. It's cheap, so just use it.

Great thermal paste, I honestly have never done a repaste until recently, but from reading reviews from mutiple websites and on amazon, it seemed like a good choice to go with. Not 100% sure if I've gotten cooler temps as it seems I'm still roughly getting same temps, but noticeable difference in how long it takes compared to dried out paste. Definitely worth the value for the money.

I got this on sale cheaper than the MX-4 (at the time) which I have also used. This is a little thicker but it seems to have comparable performance. Easy to use. No complaints here.
