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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
