ARCTIC MX-6 (8 g) Thermal Paste — High Conductivity Compound

Reviews

1. A Aldo Durán 5/5

   Verified original and highly capable

   Confirmed authentic product. It performs well under stress; in Cinebench testing my laptop peaked at 84°C, which is within expected thresholds for gaming laptops.

2. L Laurinnelts 5/5

   Recommend — thicker but effective

   The paste is on the thick side, but temperatures dropped significantly and I can play without my machine shutting down now.

3. S Sage Miller 5/5

   Works well on consoles and PCs

   Effective across both console and PC hardware. The compound feels dense and protective once applied, and it performs reliably.

4. E EternalStudent07 5/5

   Held up well over time

   I hadn’t used it for a while but it stayed consistent and didn’t flow excessively from the tube or on the chip. Applied as a large X and didn’t see any heat‑related issues.

5. P Phubbell607 4/5

   Kept temperatures down during stress testing

   High‑quality paste that met expectations. It kept my laptop CPU and chipsets cool during a two‑hour stress run without problems.

6. L Luis 5/5

   Performs exactly as expected

   Bought an 8 g tube and it worked well. Cooling improved noticeably and application was tidy and quick. The size is adequate for multiple uses and overall it feels like good value.

7. G Gregory Collins 5/5

   Gave an old GPU new life

   Re‑pasted an RX‑580 that ran hot from previous use. After removing the old residue and applying MX‑6, load temps dropped from about 89°C to 73°C. The paste wasn’t overly thick and was straightforward to apply.

8. T TiTanRage 5/5

   Dependable thermal paste with stable temperatures

   MX‑6 has been very reliable for me. It spreads evenly without running or clumping, and delivers consistent temperatures on CPUs, GPUs, consoles and laptops. Being non‑conductive removes the worry about shorts, and the 8 g tube lasts through several installs. Performance is strong and it retains its texture over time.

9. M Mateusz z Flexa 5/5

   Pretty good but a bit thick

   Works nicely, though it feels slightly heavy to spread compared with some thinner pastes.

10. M Marcel Dekker 5/5

    Good performance, minimal pump‑out

    After six months I’ve seen almost no pump‑out and it’s easy to apply. The paste remained fluid after frequent use and performed a bit better than Noctua NT‑H2 on my AMD 5900X with a Noctua D15 under heavy loads. It also behaves well on GPUs.

11. D David Petrovic 5/5

    Spreads more easily than some rivals

    Spreads smoother than some competitors and offers very good heat transfer. I tested it with Peltier modules spread thin, and it outperformed other compounds I’ve tried in my setup.

12. T Turnabout Phoenix 5/5

    Outperformed my old Arctic Silver 5 setup

    System: Ryzen 3700X (stock) and EVGA 2060 XC Ultra. I’d used Arctic Silver 5 for years but it required extra caution because it is capacitive. After repasting both GPU and CPU with MX‑6 and running real‑world gaming while logging temps, I saw noticeably cooler and more stable results.
