Reviewed in the United States on January 8, 2024
Our Xbox One X was bought used. The seller claimed he "upgraded" it, which I'm sure his intentions were good. The execution, however...
Problems first started when playing Lego Marvel Heroes 2: at a certain cut-scene early in the game, the console would just shut down. When I rebooted, it said it did so to prevent overheating. Happened every single time during the same cut-scene. The fan on the console sounded like a mini jet engine as well. Tried a few other games, i.e.: Lego Incredibles, Disneyland Adventures, Lego Star Wars Skywalker Saga... The console fan was either working overtime, or it would just shut down.

I decided to open up the console and peek inside. All the components looked ok. I then looked at the cooling fan, heat sink... Some dust, blew it out. Then I took off the heat sink, and thermal paste was everywhere EXCEPT where it should be; the main cpu. It looked like a thin layer was on it, but most of it got pushed out to the other areas on the board (strings of it were all over the heat sink).

Did some research, found this was a fairly issue. The fix: re-apply thermal paste. I've never done this before, so it was a bit intimidating.

Bought this product with the wipes, and took my time cleaning off the old paste. Applied the Arctic mx-6, re-assembled the Xbox, crossed my fingers and hooked it up.

Started up The Skywalker Saga; practically whisper quiet. Some areas of the game made the fan spin up faster than others, but nowhere near as bad as before the fix. Incredibles didn't crash. Haven't tried the other games yet, but so far we've played for several hours and haven't had the console shut down or heard the fan nearly as bad as it was.

The wipes work amazingly well. Yes, there's a smell. It's not unpleasant, but it definitely lingers (make sure to throw them outside when you're done. If they are sitting in your trash can inside, you'll never get rid of the odor).

Overall, couldn't be happier and our Xbox One X is running like a champ!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great compound and this pack is super convenient
Reviewed in the United States on March 13, 2024
I needed to split my very large desktop computer down to ship to the USA and so knew I would need to apply paste to the cpu and clean the surfaces again. I normally use an Arctic product, MX5, but haven't had to add thermal paste for a few years now so figured I would just buy a new tube for when I got to the USA.
What was really great about this is that it also had some cleaning wipes, and although I'm not sure how they work on a fully pasted surface they certainly did the job to clean the residue I had left before shipping and make sure that both surfaces were ready for the paste.
The paste itself I did research and found that MX6 is rated very well for temperatures, applied as with any other paste and I haven't had any issues with temps or otherwise. Not sure if it's any better than the previous compound I had but would definitely recommend for any use, especially if you are going to need to clean off old paste. Previously I had two bottles of remover and then a cleaner, the wipes are much more convenient and easier.

I went from an R5 3600 @ 33c Idle with Noc H1, to the R5 5500GT @ 28c idle with the Arctic MX-6. Both under my Noctua D-15. I've never seen 90 with the 3600 on any stress test. The 5500GT and MX-6 only in recently. Still no 90's yet with those. Room is 70f. Temps go up some with use but I've gotten used to not really watching them. If the case fans wind up I'll usually check, but never anything to sweat in a couple of years. So, beats me on that part. I don't use the noise suppressor cable on the Noc 140 fans. It's still rare to even hear them really at 3 feet away and head level. The Fans are set on Standard in BIOS and stay under 1k. The MX-6 shows it's right there with the best, Corsair, Noctua H2, under controlled, methodical testing from 3 different well known groups. Tom's, Overclockers, the 3rd??. I just did a general search. So no picking favorite sources. Great price on the 4g tube with 6 cleaning wipes! Beware the wipes though. They work great but throw them out of the house right after use. The chem mix is safe, so the literature says, but they have a penetrating smell to me. Moving the garbage can wasn't enough. Good stuff overall and supposed to have good longevity. Retains viscosity.
Board is an Asrock B450 Steel Legend.

5.0 out of 5 stars This paste is premium and suited for PCs that run 24x7
Reviewed in the United States on January 31, 2024
Not a lot to say, except that I have used this premium paste on many builds that run 24x7 and never had a cooling failure after lasting 8 years or more. This paste will not break down even after extreme overclocking and high wattages (really a function of the cooler wattage). It spreads easy, but make sure you don't use too much. It also comes with packets of cleaners incase you need to reapply. Good stuff and worth the premium price. There is enough to do several installations.
