    Used it on my ryzen 5600g, 32gb ram, with a Assassin King cooler. I’m running at 114f / 45c at idle

    Best compound for cooling the processor and graphics card. Best I’ve used in years!

    I upgraded my Ryzen 5 to a Ryzen 9 & wanted to have the theraml paste coverage & cooling needed for this. I went with this stuff for that. I am happy that I did.

    Not only was this easy to apply, it is holding up very well. It is a couple months on there. Granted, all of my thermal paste is on there for years, so that test will come at a much later date. So far, so good.

    I do like that it came out rather smoothly. I was going to use “my normal” stuff, but had read about this thermal paste from Artic. Seeing as there are a few changes to chip & what over time, as well as a shipping issue, I went with this paste. I so far, am glad that I have.

    I only have small bursts of extra heat after playing an intense video game. Considering I do some intense art work, that’s pretty darned good.

    Bottom line, if you’re looking for some high end thermal paste for your build, I suggest this. It goes on easy, & with the removal stuff, comes off quite smoothly & very well.

    Super great stuff

    Really good quality thermal paste, much thicker consistency than the 2.00 rubbish I bought from a local pc shop and the processor cools down rapid

    Just like mx-4, this stuff works. Maybe a little better.

    Handy piece of kit to have in toolbox. I rebuilt an old laptop over the Christmas period and used it then.

    Just put it on my i7-3770 and its keeping the temps between 40-50c and no more than 73c on and heavy HEAVY load, so im pretty please with the product (keep in mind i have a stock cooler, sadly they don’t make other models for this motherboard)

    Around ~2c cooler than Noctua’s paste, although it was harder to spread.

    Ich hatte davor die MX-4 mit einem Pure Rock auf einem Ryzen 5 5600X verwendet. Die MX-6 holt da nochmal 2-4C mehr raus. Davor wurde die CPU unter Volllast bis zu 75C hei, jetzt nur noch bis zu 72C. Sie ist im vergleich zur MX-4 sehr zh, was das verstreichen etwas schwerer macht. Fr den Preis absolut zu empfehlen.

    My Dell Lattitude E5570 was running hot under workload, quickly exceeding 210 degF when editing video, which caused me to stop. Cleaning the fan and fins didn’t help.

    I cleaned the old paste off and applied MX-6. The temperatures do not exceed 192 degF now. GPU temperatures are also cooler now.

    Easy Application and Extremely Effective

    Usata per la mia ps4 molto rumorosa. Applicata molto semplicemente e ora la mia ps4 una tomba. Consigliatissima

    Had to remount my NZXT Karken Z63 twice to change its orientation. And, I got these just right after it was released. Surprisingly, made my CPU temps 4-8 C cooler than before with some in increase in PASSMARK cpu benchmark by about 1000 score (Ryzen 7900x)

    To the point: I highly recommend this great product. I used for my PS4-Pro, it’s whisper quiet again.

    Details: It has been a year or more since I got my PS4 Pro, I’ve had multiple because I’m an idiot and want the up to date models and or different models due to special editions etc even though my current one at the time would be working absolutely fine but I digress.

    I use my console heavily but I also well maintain them. I did a full breakdown cleaning and replaced all thermal pads with with high quality ones and replaced the thermal paste with this beautiful ARCTIC MX-6 compound which is far superior to what came standard on the PS4s.

    My system is so quiet that it is quieter than it has ever been and is now on the level of the quiet and marvelous PS5. I have yet to play Red Dead Redemption 2 on it just yet, but I have played GTAV and before I would hear my PS4-Pro running and now I can’t even tell it’s on.
    I have done heavy write applications on the PS4-Pro since and then played GTAV online and it acts like it’s unbothered still quiet as can be, so I think we can assume that RDR2 would run quiet as well plus we can consider that when I had the system new which then had inferior thermals, it ran quiet then too until you played for a little while but now it’s quiet all throughout a gaming session.

    Again, I recommend this product extremely because it is quality.

    I am disappointed that I didn’t get a spatula though. Not a major deal but is a nice touch in my opinion.
    If you do not have a spatula, use the strip method for it’s just as good as the buttered toast.
    (Do not use the pea method for it is the worst method) It works efficiently of course but others work better and why not use what works better, right?)

    *NOTE TO ARCTIC – Please Include spatula for the buttered toast method of application for it is the best method of application* Either way, thank you for making your awesome compound.

    Dopo anni di pasta termica noctua ho provato a cambiare e devo dire che un ottima pasta! La uso con un dissipatore a liquido nzxt Kraken 53 e tiene il ryzen 5600g a qualche grado in meno rispetto alla h2 di noctua. Quindi ottima pasta molto facile da applicare.

    I took a chance on this new product because the brand is well known; so I felt it was safe enough to try at this price. Paired this with my Corsair 150i and my new Intel i7-13700k. I can’t complain. Seems to be in line with other high quality thermal pastes. Is a bit thicker then some, so spreading this is probably recommended. Actually, that would be my only complaint. If I had bought this at full price; I would expect a spreader like other brands have.
