Customer Ratings & Reviews

used this with a Corsair H90 with a NZXT Kraken G10 GPU bracket to water cool an Nvidia 980 Ti for 4k gaming. It works fine my GPU idles at 26 to 29 C and never gets above 60 C. Thermal paste was also used with my 4790k i7 so there is a good amount included in the vial so if you need multiple uses this will work for you.

A very good TIM which dropped my load CPU temperatures by 9 deg. Celsius compared to the OEM material used on my Corsair H60 CPU cooler. Antec went all in on this version of their TIM, using more diamond crystals than several competitors. Likes: - More diamond crystals to enhance the properties (diamond is the second-best commonly known heat-transferring material) of the paste. Works well for overclocking the CPU. - Cures nicely and works better after a small burn-in period. - Included Spreader / spatula tool was a nice touch. - Slightly better performance, depending on setup, than Arctic Silver 5. Dislikes: - Price. 4 gram tube. Enough to do several CPU's. If you only need to do one CPU, it is VERY expensive. - Density. This paste goes on thicker than many others on the market. - If you have a very efficient cooler or low-power CPU now, you will see minimal CPU temperature decreases. If you have an OEM or inefficient cooler, or overclock the CPU, the temperature decreases will be greater, especially at load.

I have used multiple TIMs and so far none have beaten the ones using Diamond powder as their base. It transfers heat better and cures faster. I needed some new TIM and couldn't wait for shipping of the stuff I normally use IC Diamond 24. Found this and so far it looks to be almost as good as what I normally use. For the price it is a better buy than AS5 and vastly better than cheap generic TIMs.

Purchased this to replace worn out thermal compound on a gaming laptop. Before replacing the thermal compound I had constant shutdowns due to overheating. Since replacing I haven't had one issue with a shutdown due to heat. applicator makes product easy to use and virtually mess free.

I'm using this on a Corsair H100 with an Intel i7 5820k. The paste was easy to apply and seems perfectly adequate at transferring the heat. My temps are acceptable and on the cool side. There's plenty in the tube for multiple applications. It's also easy to keep it clean and cap it off when finished for use later.

Writing a review for thermal compound seems silly, but it's important to share a good review when it counts. Using a proper thermal paste between your component and heatsink is imperative to a stable operation. I used this thermal paste when I installed a new CPU into a blade server at work. I've also used this same compound when using after market heat sinks on my video cards. There are definitely other brands available and from other retailers, but if you're in a bind and need it 'now' - the price is reasonable and the quality is more than sufficient.

my CPU temperature was high, noticed my thermal compound was gone after many years of use. I bought this at bestbuy and It was easy to apply. It works well, but It is bit expensive in my opinion.

Keeps my CPU cool, like it supposed to be. Easy to use applicator and dispenser. Stores easy for multiple uses also

Seems to be keeping CPU very cool. Very easy to apply, Spreader tool is perfect for removing old compound as well.

I purchased this on short notice because a friend was having overheating issues with his computer. I usually use better known products like Arctic Silver and the like because they're better known and have proved the quality of their product over time. I did hesitate before purchasing, because I had never heard of this product, but was pleased to find it works quite well. Cooling wise I found it's pretty close to some other better known brands at this price tier, but because you can find it at Best Buy it's much more easily available when you really need it. I did not test this paste under overclocking conditions, but if you're running your components at stock (default) this is more than enough.

As a system builder, I've relied on Antec brand thermal compound as my choice brand. Unlike simple heatsink grease, the chemical compound of Antec's thermal compound is outstanding. It keeps the CPU temperatures cooler, and the application lasts much longer. While some brands will last for a few years, I've had high performance systems last for several years before needing to clean off the CPU and reapply a new layer of compound. This stuff is just awesome!

Worked great, easy application and cleanup with the included tool. CPU is running cooler than ever.

Antec nano diamond thermal compound is one of the two best I've found for keeping my processor cool. It applies easily and spreads evenly. I am able to OC my quad-core processor an additional .5 GHz with just air cooling and am seeing temperatures increase only five to eight degrees at 100 percent load. Recommended whether you tweak or not.

My CPU was overheating often so I decided to try and fix it myself. I tried this and it worked great. My processor is 40 degrees cooler idling. Works just as good as Arctic Silver.

No complaints at all. Easy to sprrad on processor and have kept it cool since applied.

I have seen a lot of reviewers stating that it is difficult to apply this compound, but before I applied it I just warmed it in my hand for about a minute, and I used the application tool supplied with it, and had absolutely no problems. I did have to remove the heat sink while I was trying to figure out how to put the heat sink on, and noticed that after it setup for a couple of minutes the compound will break up if you try to move it, so it is just important to leave it alone once it is applied. Also I applied a thin coat to the processor as well. This is going to be my new go to paste.

was a gift but was told it was great and if you need a solution that isolates and facilitates the transfer of heat. Formula 7's nano diamond particles minimize the distance between heat-conductive compounds and gladly take on an overclocking environment, optimally performing between -50?C and 250?C. To keep your system cool and your CPU functioning comfortably, just like the box says

I looked at a lot of different thermal compound online and read the reviews. Even looked at a bunch of videos on you tube. Was the only kind that I could purchase from a store, all others had to be shipped. This is the first kind of thermal past I have used, it went on fine, no problems with application. Cpu is running cooler with the new heat sink and paste.

I've been building PC's since 1996 & this thermal paste is the best on the market. A bit pricey & you only get a few uses per tube, but it doesn't dry out & cake like the white stuff. Expect at least a 10% drop in cpu or gpu temps.

I used the thermal compound as directed. I then overclocked my CPU, using the software that came with my board. It wasn't long before I saw the blue screen appear. Informing me that the thermal compound had done all it could do. I then removed the paste and applied Arctic Silver 5. Using their product to remove the other compound. Ran the same tests. This time the CPU didn't overheat. Conclusion: Antec's Formula 7 thermal compound under normal conditions. Will do the job. But the Arctic Silver 5 is better.
