Let Z be a sum of 36 consecutive primes. A necessary condition to get a 6 X 6 magic square using these primes is that Z=6S, where S is even. The smallest magic constant of a 6 X 6 magic square of consecutive primes is 484 (cf. A073520).
Each of the first 100 possible arrays of 36 consecutive primes which satisfy the necessary condition produces a magic square.
A program written by Stefano Tognon was used.

Magic square with S=930 can be pan-diagonal (cf. A073523).

Cf. A173981 (analog for 4 X 4), A176571 (analog for 5 X 5), A073523 (36 consecutive primes of a pandiagonal magic square), A073520 (smallest magic sum for n X n), A259733 (most-perfect 8 X 8), A272387 (smallest element of 6 X 6 magic squares of consecutive primes).
