Noticeable temp drop after switching from stock paste.
The media could not be loaded. After running my AIO with the pre-applied thermal paste for about a year and a half, I decided it was finally time to repaste and go with something new. I’d never used Arctic MX-6 before, but the results honestly impressed me. Coming from the original factory paste, this was a clear upgrade.The consistency is thicker than most thermal pastes I’ve used, but it’s still manageable. If you’re careful, you can definitely use a spatula to apply it smoothly (though it doesn’t come with one in the box). Once the cooler block is seated, the paste seems to settle and spread very quickly with good pressure.After installation, I saw immediate drops in temps—roughly 7 to 10°C lower under both idle and heavy load. That’s on a system running a heavy static overclock, so for me, those gains were huge. Definitely worth the re-paste if your system’s been running for a while and you're starting to notice thermal creep.Solid upgrade. Would recommend for anyone pushing their CPU hard or just looking to refresh an aging AIO.

Good thermal paste.
Why did you pick this product vs others?:It's thermal paste. Get's the job done. Very gooey but spreads nicely when heatsinks get put on. Pasted my old PS4 Pro, a PS3, and 2 computers with plenty of paste left to spare in this 8g tube. So far everything runs fine and nothing overheats. My PS4 Pro also no longer sounds like a jet engine when running games. Very good for computers and older consoles with active cooling systems.

Very good, I was a bit iffy since my go to is thermal grizzly, however after reviewing the comments on this particular thermal paste and trying it for myself. It exceeded my expectations and is more than viable as a more easily accessible and affordable paste….compared to my go to as mentioned above.

Knockout paste for a perfect price
Saved My PC from Thermal Throttling!I don’t usually write reviews, but the ARCTIC MX-6 deserves some serious praise.For the past few months, my gaming PC had been running way hotter than normal, idling at 60°C and spiking into the 90s under moderate load. I suspected the old thermal paste had degraded, so I decided to give the MX-6 a try after seeing some solid benchmarks online.Immediate difference. After a quick clean and reapplication, my idle temps dropped to around 35°C, and full-load temps now stay in the low 70s. No more thermal throttling, no sudden shutdowns—just smooth, stable performance again. It honestly feels like I have a new rig.What I appreciate most:Easy to apply – the consistency is just right (not too runny, not too thick).Non-conductive – gave me peace of mind when applying near sensitive components.No burn-in time – saw improvements immediately after reassembly.Whether you're building new or reviving an older setup like I did, this stuff just works. Highly recommend it over the stock paste or any other pricey brand.

Very good heat dissipation
Best thermal paste i owned i applied it on my cpu and it spred very easily, this thermal paste is more on the thick side but helps on cooling more better, the heat dissipation was amazing i ran a couple of stress tests and went from 71c to 63c and unlocked more performance on my ryzen 7.Overall: it was very easy to apply and increased performance on my computer

Awesome stuff!
Stuff works great! Dropped my GPU Temps by as much as 15-20c. Still have plenty left over for another handful of reapplications in the future as well.

Works great on Nintendo Switch Lite
Applied it on my Switch lite and I hardly hear the fan at all anymore. I can definitely recommend this, and from research it is said to last up to 8 years without drying out, it's a set and forget it type of thing. so yeah go for it. I highly recommend the 8g one though, its a better value for money and you can apply it to multiple devices

Works great
I was having a cooling issue while using other thermal pastes. I bought this one and my cpu temperature reduced by 30°+. I would definitely recommend.
