ARCTIC MX-6 (4 g, incl. 6 MX Cleaner) - Ultimate Performance Thermal Paste for CPU, consoles, graphics cards, laptops, very high thermal conductivity, long durability, non-conductive, non-capacitive

I went to a computer repair shop a week ago to have the thermal paste replaced, however, perhaps due to the poor skills of the repairers or the quality of the product they used, this caused my R7-5800H to reach 80 degrees even in standby mode. The fan had to run all the time to cool down the CPU. I had to buy this product and try replacing the thermal paste myself, which worked surprisingly well. Now my laptop is quiet again. It stays at 50 degrees in standby and below 70 degrees when I am running a high load game. Considering the huge amount of heat generated by the R7-5800H, this product has performed well enough. It is very easy to use and the viscosity is appropriate and will not cause you any problems.The MX Cleaner purchased along with it cleans well, but the smell is very unpleasant, much like petrol mixed with chemicals. I think these drawbacks are negligible though as it is far cheaper than some well known products and perhaps performs even better.

The ARCTIC MX-6 Thermal Paste is excellent for anyone looking to improve cooling performance! It’s easy to apply, and the included MX Cleaner makes the process even smoother. The paste offers very high thermal conductivity, keeping my CPU and graphics card temperatures much lower than before. I’ve noticed a significant difference in performance, especially during heavy usage. It’s non-conductive and non-capacitive, so I feel confident using it on my sensitive components. The 4g size is perfect for multiple applications, making it great value for the price. Highly recommend for any PC or console builder!

Used the MX-4, MX-5 and now the MX-6, they all have worked well for me, this new MX-6 along with the same cooler (but replaced under warranty) dropped my temps by 5c/9c on idle and did not get beyond 69c when before it was hitting 80c+. Could be that the cooler was not working as it should (Was replaced with the same one though) and I think coupled with an iffy water cooler not cooling well and new paste on a new cooler all helped to get the temps down.Never gone hard on me, easy to clean as well, it just does it's job very well.

Review of Thermal Paste with Cleaning WipesI’ve used this thermal paste for some time now, and overall, it performs exceptionally well. However, there are a couple of things worth mentioning—one being a personal gripe and the other something that could have been improved.PerformanceFirst and foremost, the thermal paste does its job. After application, I noticed consistently low temperatures, which is exactly what you want from a product like this. Compared to other thermal pastes I’ve tried, this one stands out for its effectiveness, keeping my components cool and stable under load.The Smell of the Alcohol WipesHere’s where my personal gripe comes in: the smell from the alcohol wipes included with the paste is very strong. I’m not sure if the potency is necessary to clean off old thermal paste effectively, but it’s something to be aware of. Unfortunately, I made the mistake of not immediately disposing of the used wipes after use. The lingering smell in my room was overwhelming and awful—definitely a lesson learned!PricingWhile the paste works great, I feel the price is slightly on the higher side. For the performance it offers, it’s reasonable, but a bit of a price drop would make it more accessible to a wider audience.ProsExcellent Cooling: Keeps temperatures impressively low, even under heavy usage.Included Wipes: Convenient for cleaning off old paste, although they come with their own drawback (see below).ConsStrong Smell: The alcohol wipes have an overpowering odor, and failing to dispose of them immediately can make the smell linger in your space.Price: Slightly expensive compared to some other options on the market.Final ThoughtsThis thermal paste delivers great results, and I’m very happy with its cooling performance. However, the strong smell from the wipes and the slightly high price keep it from being perfect in my eyes. That said, if cooling performance is your top priority, this is a solid choice that won’t disappoint.4/5 Stars: Excellent thermal performance, but the wipes’ smell and pricing could be improved.
