I thought that was an interesting claim, mainly because most people on the no winter tire camp do not usually debate whether they work or not; they simply argue whether the performance difference is necessary in practice. Use at your own discretion, but I highly recommend MX-4 over this as it’s proven to work and spreads much easier. Tanto a placa de vídeo quanto a CPU não passaram de 72°C em nenhuma aplicação que utilizei (renderização, jogos, compilação), cerca de 5 a 10 graus mais baixo que a MasterGel regular que acompanhou o meu cooler da CPU.

Answer: Arctic MX-6 offers around 20% better thermal performance compared to MX-4, as well as improved durability and resistance to leakage compared to MX-5. The silicone gel carrier allows for optimal distribution of the paste, which is achieved through even contact pressure when mounting the heat sink.

The MX-5 paste cools my cpu a few degrees better, while being easier to spread and having better consistency.

They mention that it's good thermal paste for high-end cpus, sticksier than MX4, and has no noticeable thermal difference. In my opinion the paste had already hardened out quite a bit and I found it was harder to remove than my previously used Noctua NT-H1. The MX-6 thermal paste will round out Arctic’s lineup and is actually a replacement for the MX-5, which is now officially listed as a discontinued product. Answer: Yes, Arctic MX-6 is suitable for direct-die cooling scenarios, particularly with graphics cards or console processor GPUs.Some mention that it spreads easily and cools very well, while others say that it's a lot harder to spread and get an equal level, and that the very thick paste doesn't spread well. Accessories: The company offers various accessories, including fan controllers, extension cables, and adapter cables to assist with the installation and management of cooling components. Even with trying to lean the heatsink over to remove it, it still ripped my 5600X out of the socket. They started in 2001 with the name ARCTIC Cooling and has evolved into a much more popular and reliable cooling solution provider now known as ARCTIC.

This eliminates the risk of short circuits and discharges, plus you don't have to worry about corrosion damage to the cooler base caused by liquid metal.

I have tried repasting several time, cleaning using lint free paper and solvent so made no difference and gave up entirely on thermal grizzly. Properly applied thermal compounds can contribute to maintaining lower operating temperatures for CPUs and GPUs.
