ARCTIC MX-6 Silicone Thermal

Product Type: Silicone-based Thermal Compound / Thermal Paste
Color: Grey
Viscosity: 45,000 poise (relatively thick consistency, designed to spread with cooler pressure rather than a spatula)
Density: 2.6 g/cm³
Thermal Conductivity: While some older or varied listings might state 7.5 W/mK, official ARCTIC and more recent high-end listings often highlight "Ultimate Performance" and "Optimal for Overclocking," indicating it aims for the top tier. It has a measurably lower thermal resistance than MX-4.
Continuous Use Temperature: -50 to 150 ℃
Electrical Conductivity: Non-electrically conductive (prevents short circuits).
Capacitance: Non-capacitive.
Composition: Silicone gel used as a carrier, carbon-filled. Free of liquid metal components.
Application: Applied directly from the syringe. Due to its viscosity, it is typically spread by the contact pressure of the cooler.
"Burn-in" Time: Reaches maximum performance immediately after application and distribution, no burn-in period required.
Long-term Stability: Excellent non-drying and non-bleeding properties ensure consistent long-term performance and prevent the "Pump-Out Effect."
Available Sizes: Typically available in 2g, 4g, and 8g syringes. Some variants may include an MX Cleaner.
