    The applicator worked well to spread it evenly, and it seems to be working well so far, no heat issues.

    It does its job. Not the best compound in the world, but good enough for most high-end rigs.

    I was a little weary of getting this at first but now I'm glad I did. It keeps my CPU cool as a cucumber. Was looking to get arctic silver but didn't have the option since I needed it right away so I got this in the store and it works just fine.

    Actually works better than regular thermal compound and comes with a spreader never had one with that. Would recommend if you love your computer.

    Seems to keep my CPU almost as cool as Arctic Silver 5, so it's been worth the purchase for me. I don't overclock my CPU, so I bet this is adequate for any general user that's replacing a CPU/heatsink/thermal compound.

    I had ran out of Artic Silver and this was a highly rated product that was easily available. Once I used it on the heat sink the laptop continued to refuse to turn on. I wiped everything clean again and started fresh. This time the laptop turned on and worked flawlessly until it was re-started the following day and had the same problem of turning on but black screen. I wiped it all down again with the same awful results. I have gone back to artic silver and the laptop is working fine. I noticed that this product is thicker than artic silver and when taking everything apart, it is gummy. I will stick with Artic Silver for future repairs.

    Paste worked great. My temperatures had a noticeable drop, and I stopped overheating. Really easy to spread with the included tool.

    It's thermal paste. It gets the job done. I've read that this is pretty good stuff. I bought it because bestbuy only had this and the dynex stuff. I haven't had any problems with it. I just think it's a bit too expensive.

    Great thermal paste when one does not want to wait around for better quality more expensive paste from the internet. Thus far, the paste has worked fine. The last of this item I purchased needed replaced within 6 months of moderate computer usage.

    So, my laptop has had major heat issues lately. I completely took it apart, dusted(was expected amount of dust nothing major), and I took off the heatsink for the GPU and CPU. I had cleaned off the processors with rubbing alcohol the best I could and applied this to both with good amounts. Now my laptop runs VERY cool and gets barely warm when I am gaming on it.
