ARCTIC MX-6 ULTIMATE Performance Thermal Paste with 6x MX Cleaner

 
Application with a Spatula Is Not Possible
MX-6 is a highly viscous, high-performance paste. It cannot be spread with a spatula. Instead, use the contact pressure of the cooler.
 
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.
 
Continuous Product Improvements
We always pass improvements on to our customers. That’s why our MX-6 is already available in several revisions: between Rev. 2 and Rev. 3, performance was significantly increased, while between Rev. 3 and Rev. 4 only the consistency was slightly adjusted to improve 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 to offer 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's 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.
