Thermal paste ARCTIC MX-6 ULTIMATE Performance + MX Cleaner

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 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 is a carbon filler–based thermal paste and reaches its maximum performance without burn-in, directly after application and distribution. It achieves this without reputed ingredients such as expensive diamond dust or 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 that 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 base.

Versatile range of applications

With its new composition, MX-6 is a 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.

Available in different variants

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, 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.

Often copied but never achieved

ARCTIC's thermal pastes have always been among the most popular products on the TIM market. To ensure that a paste has been produced and filled under ARCTIC regulations and thus meets our high quality standards, we use the ARCTIC Authenticity Check. This means every product can be reliably verified so our customers are always on the safe side.

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.
