Customer Ratings & Reviews

Was hard to get hands on for a while in this capacity without either crossing state lines to get from brick n' mortars that don't ship, or importing in bulk. This is the domestic go-to when not needing to splurge on 'Thermal Grizzly' or 'Kingpin', since no longer searching for 'IC Diamond'. All that I have to gripe about is that the flow of the paste can't be further controlled via optionally enlarging the diameter of the nozzle by cutting the nozzle at a desired length, if the nozzle were tapered. Solid performance aid. Longevity foundationally depends on efficient application, environmental conditions & intensity of system usage. At the time of constructing this review, it's been over a year since the thermal application with only a varying maximum of a 2C degree difference under, relatively, the same day-to-day load of processes in conjunction with a fixed-profile 240 liquid-loop

I recently purchased the CORSAIR XTM50 High Performance Thermal Paste Kit in gray, and I must say it has exceeded my expectations in terms of performance and ease of use. This thermal paste is designed to effectively dissipate heat and improve the thermal conductivity between your CPU or GPU and the cooler. Here's my breakdown of its key features: 1. Performance: The XTM50 lives up to its "High Performance" label. It effectively reduces temperatures by promoting efficient heat transfer, allowing your processor or graphics card to operate at lower temperatures. This can lead to improved performance, lower fan noise, and increased longevity of your components. 2. Application: The kit includes a syringe with a precise applicator tip, which makes it easy to apply the paste with accuracy. The consistency of the thermal compound is just right, neither too runny nor too thick, ensuring a smooth application without any mess. It spreads evenly, eliminating the need for excessive reapplication. 3. Durability: The XTM50 is known for its long-lasting performance. Once applied, it remains stable and maintains its thermal properties for an extended period. You won't have to worry about reapplying the thermal paste frequently, which is a significant advantage. 4. Compatibility: This thermal paste is suitable for a wide range of CPUs and GPUs. Whether you have an Intel or AMD processor, or an NVIDIA or AMD graphics card, the XTM50 is compatible with most mainstream components. It offers versatility and convenience for users with various systems. 5. Aesthetics: While aesthetics may not be the most critical factor when it comes to thermal paste, the gray color of the XTM50 adds a sleek touch. It blends well with most system designs and doesn't stand out like some of the more brightly colored alternatives. Overall, the CORSAIR XTM50 High Performance Thermal Paste Kit is a reliable and efficient choice for anyone looking to improve their system's thermal management. Its excellent performance, ease of application, long-term durability, and broad compatibility make it a solid investment. The only reason I deducted one star is the price, which is slightly higher compared to some competing options. Nevertheless, if you're willing to pay a bit more for quality, the XTM50 won't disappoint. I would highly recommend the CORSAIR XTM50 to enthusiasts, gamers, and anyone seeking improved heat dissipation and thermal efficiency for their PC components.

I have just replaced the thermal paste for the first time in my first water-pump cooled CPU. Not being familiar with thermal paste, I did not even realize the need to replace it until my CPU was regularly over 65C and sometimes reaching 84C. Only then did I start to worry and research the problem (using an old laptop to check online) - learning at that time that the thermal paste needs to be regularly replaced. To show how silly I had been - I have had this desktop for about 1.5 years and had never replaced its thermal paste. I'm probably lucky it lasted this long. I ordered the same type of thermal paste that was suggested by the company that had built my desktop - this brand - and I checked a few videos online on how to replace it. It was surprisingly easy to use the stencil. I was finished and my computer was running again in less than half an hour. And, more impressive to me, even during some upper-end typical tasks I am only seeing about 30 to 40C CPU temperatures. It has been so long since I saw the CPU regularly at these temperatures more than a few minutes after startup that I had honestly forgotten that it *should* be below 50C for typical tasks.

From both paste (Corsair ) that sales bestbuy , I went with this one . I’m really impressed , I went from i5 getting 30c to i9 getting 33-34c idle and 45-47 c under stress . I can said that actually is really high performance thermal paste . I ear about grizzly and M4 carbon paste , but nah, I’m going to stick with this one .

Not many options for paste that you can locally pick up. Great quality and great price for a thermal paste that can be bought and applied the same day. I used this on my i9-9900k GPU when I had to replace my water cooler. Also applied to my 2080ti GPU when the paste went dry. Super easy to apply, comes with a card so you wont have to get your hands dirty. after application, I still have some leftover. temperatures dropped about 6degrees-10degrees in total for both CPU and GPU. Great buy for its availability/longevity, only wish they sell thermal PADs as well.

Great quality Thermal paste. Easy to use. Installed a few CPU coolers, and performed a thermal tape, and paste upgrade on an Asus strix liquid cooled 6800 xt with this.

I bought this to assemble my rig while waiting for my thermal grizzly to come in. Very surprised with the product. Using a 10900k and clock happy board this kept my temps in the 55-60 C° range under full load. My thermal grizzly brought that temp down an additional 5°s but the price + shipping make this product a very good off the shelf solution.

Very pleased with this CORSAIR - XTM50 High Performance Thermal Paste!! This single tube can easily last for two to three projects!

Fantastic thermal paste. Built my first PC since high school back in 2015, and needed a good thermal solution, after much research it seemed this one was the winner. My 7600X performs fantastically with this paste.

Noticed CPU temps starting to top close or a little over 80°. I haven't changed thermal paste in about 3-4 years and a fresh application is now topping at around 72°! Picture after application, came with a shield and applicator card. CPU: i5-4690K (Not often OC'd) MOBO: Asus H97-Plus GPU: EVGA GTX 1660 Ti XC RAM: 16GB

The CORSAIR XTM50 Thermal Paste Kit is just what you need to keep your computer cool. It's easy to use and makes sure your CPU doesn't get too hot. It's a good deal for anyone who need thermal paste for their PC. Overall, it's a solid pick to help your system stay chill.

I have used other thermal paste in the past and honestly this one was the one that work best for me, it kept my cpu at a very consistent temperature, would totally buy it again, came with like some little cute tools!

I bought this to replace the thermal paste on all three of my consoles. After viewing guides on how to disassemble my xbox x and pro, I dove in and cleaned them and replaced the paste. My consoles are running much quieter now. They needed this new paste. I say it was worth it!

Great Thermal paste, Way better than the TM30. Spend the extra cash and grab this. The TM30 had my GPU running 74c for a couple days before it jumped back up to 80c-86c. I grabbed some XTM50 and it’s maxed out at 70c for a couple weeks. Don’t even pick up the TM30. (GRAB THE XTM50)

I used this thermal past for my CPU and it works fine. I would buy this same brand again.

This thermal past was one of many I was considering for the PC I had built for me through Geek Squad. Having looked at the CPU temps for the various games ive played on a 1440p monitor on HIGH settings. I feel like I wont be disappointed in this product now or in the future.

Perfect thermal paste, i just changed the old one and the cpu doesn’t have any heat issues and it never goes more than 60º in a full charge

I have used this product for PS4 & PC works well easy to apply and have tested many different ways to apply even scrapped off a CPU that I applied to 3 months before and reused just a tiny bit on new CPU temps stayed low during game play

This thermal paste really works and cools my CPU to keep them at low temps. I also used it to replace thermal paste on my Graphics Card. Comes with plenty of paste to last a good while. Definitely a good buy!

Highly Recommend this thermal paste, it has lasted me over a year keeping my pc from overheating.
