MX-6 (8 g) - Ultimate Performance Thermal Paste for CPU, consoles, graphics cards, laptops, very high thermal conductivity, long durability, non-conductive, non-capacitive

Good quality paste, easy to apply, getting better temperatures out of my CPU cooler than the stock applied paste. Functions exactly as expected, I've used this paste before and it's usually good for at least a year, even if you're fanatical about replacing your thermal paste regularly. Not too sticky and plenty of longevity.

My favourite thermal paste to use. Noticeably dropped my temps compared to MX-4, lasts ages in my systems, easy to use and spread, easy to clean off with IPA and functions just how you would expect.

This is great it has lowerd my chip by 20C a must have it is better than the previus and that was good compard to outher makes all i can say is WOW!

Its honestly very good for its price and my pc runs very cool.

Whilst there is a performance boost in terms of thermals, but it's quite difficult to spread, which makes sense compared to mx4. However cost even though is a bit higher might be negligible to someone who does need that 3-4 degrees of improvement. Although I've only seen this in some pretty specific environments. It's great, but I wouldn't say it's much different from mx4.

This paste works really well but is a nightmare to spread. Warming it up on a radiator before application makes it a lot more manageable.

I replaced and old liquid cooler with an air cooler (scythe mugen 6) recently on a 12600K/5070ti in a panoramic case (front and side are glass, so airflow is not good). While playing around with the new cooler I also swapped the paste from scythe to this arctic, I expected some change, but didn't notice much of a difference (properly cleaned with IPA etc) - I guess both paste are good. Just for reference my system is now using air cooling with the mugen 6 cooler, added 4 noctua chassis fans, fan curves are relaxed, all fans runs 20% till 55C, 60% between 55-75 and gradually increasing to 100% after that. System idles 32-35C in a warmish office and basically silent with all fans running on 20%, stays under 55C while doing office work, stays under 70C when stressing both CPU and GPU on max wattage with furmark and cpu-z, this is ofc not silent anymore I can hear the air being pushed around, but it does not go above 70C and overall much quiter than my old liquid cooler. So overall, the thermal paste seems to do its job, but I expected a bit more compared to the other one cuz of the hype and winning tests etc...

What is there to say about Artic thermal paste. I normally get MX-4 but this was on offer with extra 4g thrown in and it works. Pushed i9 990k cpu all cores maxed out and it did reduce temperatures but really negligible. If its on sale with double amount of paste then get it otherwise stick to the MX-4.
