ARCTIC MX-6 (2 g) - Ultimate Performance Thermal Paste for CPU, consoles, graphics cards, laptops, very high thermal conductivity, long durability, non-conductive, non-capacitive

I used the ARCTIC MX-6 (2g) thermal paste when installing a new CPU cooler and it worked very well. Temperatures improved compared to the stock paste, and everything has stayed stable under load. The paste has a thick consistency, which means it stays in place and spreads properly when you mount the cooler. It’s designed to achieve lower thermal resistance than older versions, helping transfer heat more efficiently. The pressure from the heatsink spreads it evenly, so application is simple even if you’re not very experienced. One thing I like is that it’s non-conductive, so there’s no risk of short circuits if a small amount spreads outside the CPU area. It’s also long-lasting and doesn’t dry out quickly, which means you won’t need to replace it often. The 2g tube is enough for several applications, which makes it good value. The only minor downside is that it’s quite thick compared to some other pastes, so it can be harder to spread manually. It’s best applied with a small dot and letting the cooler pressure distribute it. Overall, a high-quality thermal paste that performs well and is easy to use. Highly recommended if you want reliable cooling for a CPU or GPU.

I never really bought into the idea that premium thermal pastes outperformed standard/budget ones by much until I used the stock paste from my current heatsink (Thermalright Phantom Spirit 120) and found it to not perform as I would have hoped. I decided to purchase this paste to see if it could improve my performance at all and WOW what a difference it made! ~10 degrees cooler under full load was a major improvement and put me to where I expected to be with the cooling solution I chose. The quality of this paste is excellent - it's quite wet so bear that in mind when using it. It is easy to apply thanks to the syringe style applicator and was easily removed with an alcohol wipe when I inevitably made a mistake and had to take the CPU + Cooler assembly apart! Overall, I'm really impressed with this product and I love that you can buy it in this smaller amount - most companies will try and sell you a tube with more than you need which leads to waste (I have managed to lose or accidentally throw away multiple big tubes of thermal paste over the years) so the fact you pay less for a tube with around 3 applications worth is really handy and good value for money, I highly recommend this product!

Purchased alongside some thermal pads to rejuvenate my PS4 pro. This is quality stuff. Before this, it was like having a jet engine in the room. I tried a generic paste before this, and it made little if any difference. This was a bit trickier to apply as its so thick and it didn't want to stick to the CPU, but as long as you go slow and keep it thin then you'll get there eventually. My PS4 is now silent.

Cheap thermal paste and does the job. I am new to PC building but this seems to do the job. A little goes a long way.

Mini PC CPU fan was coming on quite often and quite noticeable running at high pitch. Applied Arctic MX-6 (2g) quality paste, easy to install from provided syringe. The functionality of my mini pc heatsink has been restored. The temperature is noticeably low by almost 10 degrees. Fan is running stable and hardly goes into high pitch anymore. Make sure you clean of the old paste with suitable cleaning fluid before application to get best result.

2 g was just right amount for Ryzen 5 processor and assassin cooker. All working well so far. Also like that the packaging had an authenticity stamp

Arguably the best thermal compound in the market, worked great with my laptop

temps dropped 25c with a repaste much needed
