It basically turned to a liquid on my CPU. Also causes my CPU to hit it's thermal limit all the time. With a water cooler and better fans (higher pressure and more cfm) I couldn't play the same games I could before swapping CPUs. Not recommended unless you plan on cleaning up a lot and changing it out.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.It’s hardens a bit over time, but not to much so that it can stay an effective medium for heat transfer.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Does not harden, till this day I'm still running the same paste I applied when I bought this. Easy to remove and clean up.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Remains a paste until heated. Once heated hardens slightly to help bond cooler to CPU
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I just pulled a heatsink off that was only on for a couple of weeks, and the paste was still a gel consistency.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.It dries somewhat, but is a slow moving liquid, a thick paste almost, once applied. If you're trying to remove, use a small amount of rubbing alcohol on a cloth.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.it hardens
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The paste remains solid at all times and has the consistency of peanut butter at room temperature. I use this thermal compound on my computer and have run into no problems so far. It has been over a year since I have applied. I recommend this product for its quality and price.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Hi Stavros1999, The thermal paste should have a paste consistency and will loosen slightly under system load. -Brian
