Arctic MX-6 Ultimate Performance Thermal Compound - 8g

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.

Optimal Consistency for Every Application

Depending on personal preference and area of application, a thinner or thicker thermal compound may be preferred. Excellent non-drying and non-bleeding properties ensure constant long-term performance. With ARCTIC thermal pastes, you will find the optimal viscosity for your application.

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 of offering a first-class product at a fair price. The optimized formula is based on the proven MX-4, one of the best-selling thermal pastes in the world. The focus was on versatile application possibilities and an easy-to-use consistency.

Simply the Paste

The ARCTIC MX-6 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.

Risk-Free 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.

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 is also suitable for direct-die cooling scenarios, which occur, for example, with graphics cards or console processor GPUs.

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, which is completely biodegradable.

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

Thanks to its consistency, MX-6 is easy to apply even for beginners. In the video, we show how it can be applied to avoid air pockets between the processor and the cooler.
