ARCTICMX-6 (4 g) - Ultimate Performance Thermal Paste for CPU, Consoles, Graphics Cards, laptops, Very high Thermal Conductivity, Long Durability, Non-Conductive

My laptop's cpu temp was climbing and performance was getting erratic during zoom calls. I swapped out the thermal paste and I'm back to stable and cool. If you have a Dell, it's a pretty easy job and if you're still rocking a 10 year old laptop like I am, it's necessary.

Been buying Arctic Silver products for many years now and this one doesn't disappoint. Only downside is that is that it is hard to spread. I need to try warming it up a bit first.

Probably more than I'll ever need. Does it go bad? 😅 I would have purchased a smaller amount if it were available.

I use it in my builds. Works better than the previous MX4. You can't go wrong using Arctic thermal paste.

Great thermal paste, I honestly have never done a repaste until recently, but from reading reviews from mutiple websites and on amazon, it seemed like a good choice to go with. Not 100% sure if I've gotten cooler temps as it seems I'm still roughly getting same temps, but noticeable difference in how long it takes compared to dried out paste. Definitely worth the value for the money.

It works but not really any better than the stock paste that comes with Noctua and Thermalright coolers.I just did a series of tests using these items: Date: 05/07/2024ARCTIC MX-6 $6.55TF7 Thermal Compound Paste - includedNoctua NT-H1 Thermal Computer Paste - includedThermalright Peerless Assassin 120 SE Cooler $33.90Noctua NH-D9L, Premium CPU Cooler $54.95Configs and results:1. Noctua NH-D9L with Noctua NT-H1: Started here. I was getting about 35C to 38C Idle on the CPU with the fan at 950ish rpm. When I did the multi core CPU test on Cinebench 2024 the temp would jump up to the 100C throttle temp almost immediately and would bounce right at that for the duration of the 10 minute test. The fan ramped up to 2000rpm for the duration.2. Noctua NH-D9L with ARCTIC MX-6: The Artic paste dropped my idle temp down a bit to 34C to 36C. All other tests had the same results as the 1st test.3. Thermalright PA with TF7: Got a really nice drop here down to 28C to 30C idle with the fans spinning at 720 rpm. When running Cinebench it did eventually get to the 100C throttle, but it was about 5 minutes into the 10 minute test before it did. The temp was generally bouncing around 90C throughout the test. The 2 fans got up to 1550 ish rpm and were much quieter than the single Noctua fan.4. Thermalright PA with ARCTIC MX-6: The change in paste had no effect on thermals or fan speeds over the TF7.Bonus: I replaced the 2 fans that came with the Thermalright PA with 2 be quiet! Pure Wings 3 120mm Quiet PWM I ordered for a case. This had no effect on the thermals but the fan speeds are slightly slower at 700 rpm idle and 1500 rpm under Cinebench. More importantly, they run noticeably quieter. Under standard use I cannot hear them at all.Takeaway 1: For $35 the Thermalright PA is a fantastic cooler and the larger dual fans make it quieter than the Noctua NH-D9L. I do like the size of the NH-D9L but for a gaming system the Thermalright PA will be my new go to.Takeaway 2: CPU Grease makes much less of a difference than I thought. Maybe it is just the ones I tried but the reviews on the Artic MX-6 were stellar yet it barely did better than the Noctua NT-H1 that came with the cooler and didn’t do any better than the TF7 that came with the Thermalright PA. Save your money here and use it to buy better fans.CPU is an Intel i7-14700kf on a GIGABYTE Z790 Eagle AX Motherboard with an 850 watt EVGA Power Supply if you want to know.

Does what it’s supposed to! 7600X running cooler than a yeti

Great it exceeded my expectations
