Generally, we don’t tend to pay much attention to PC temperature until summer comes, which is when the “heats” happen and the problems start. But as they say, it’s never too late to renew your heatsink’s thermal paste, especially now that Arctic has activated a promotion on Amazon through which we can purchase their thermal pastes At a reduced price. In this article, we collect the best deals so you don’t have to search.
As you probably already know, thermal paste is a viscous element located between the processor’s IHS and the base of the heatsink, smoothing out imperfections on both surfaces so that heat transfer from one to the other occurs more efficiently. Unfortunately, the viscous material of thermal pastes deteriorates over time, which means that their effectiveness gradually decreases until it is time to use them. change thermal paste.
For this reason, it’s always a good idea to have a syringe of thermal paste on hand for when it “touches”, since it is a product that in fact is not expensive at all and is worth having just in case, for when you need it (the syringe it comes in hardly deteriorates, it lasts several years in good condition), especially if they are on sale, as is currently the case with Arctic thermal pastes.
Arctic MX-4 and MX6 thermal pastes, on sale
There’s no doubt that Arctic is a specialist when it comes to PC cooling, and not just because of its excellent fans or heatsinks, which have always stood out for having the best value for money; We are referring, of course, to their thermal pastes, which, although they have never been the best of the best, have always been at the top of the performance charts and, moreover, are very cheap.
On the one hand we have Arctic MX-6, the latest of the thermal pastes that has been launched on the market and which, according to the manufacturer itself, is up to 20% more efficient in terms of performance than its previous iteration, and also lasts longer in good condition since it is more viscous… yes, from experience we warn you that its higher viscosity makes its application a little more complicated.
Likewise, we have tested (and in fact continue to use) this Arctic MX-6 in our test benches, and we can confirm that it has excellent performance and excellent behavior, so it is a model that we will always recommend. Right now you have it for sale on Amazon Europe, with an incredible 41% off in the 4 gram syringe, with which you will have for many assemblies or renovations of thermal paste. Plus, it comes in a pack of 6 cleaning wipes that will help you remove old thermal paste.
If you want a little more, the 8 gram syringe is also on sale, but in this case at a 28% discount.
If you prefer a thermal paste that is less viscous, easier to apply but also gives very good results, you have the previous model, the Arctic MX-4, a thermal paste that at the time was the favorite of professional overclockers precisely for these two reasons. In fact, this thermal paste is not only recommended for the processor, but also for graphics cards, chipsets and even consoles if necessary.
In this case, the version with the best deal is the 20 gram syringe (which lasts almost a lifetime, come on), which is 33% off.
