    Used this when I upgraded the CPU in my son's laptop. I was concerned about the heat that the faster processor would generate in this particular unit so I splurged on the more expensive compound. Glad I did. It worked great and he has had no problems with the 150% faster CPU I threw in. Yay thermal compound!

    I used this product when cleaning the liquid input to my liquid cooled computer. I had to remove the cooling unit from the processor to clean it, and used the Nano Diamond Thermal Compound to provide a good heat transfer medium between the unit and the processor. Worked great!

    Best compound for upgrades

    The Antec Nano Diamond thermal compound is worth paying extra for as it seems to have better conductive properties than some of the lower cost pastes. I usually use this instead of the little tube that comes with the componants and have always been pleased with Antecs performance.

    OK what can be said about good thermal compound for CPUs? Need to get the heat out as efficiently as possible. Looks like this compound has addressed that problem by impregnating with diamonds which is better than alumina. Is that the 50 characters that you are looking for?

    Better than Arctic Silver?

    While assembling a new build, I needed thermal paste to install a heat sync. I went to the best buy store and this is all they had in stock. I went there looking for Arctic Silver, but this is all they had in stock. After a quick internet search, I found that this was as good or better than arctic silver. It has served me well so far. Running an Intel 4770K letting the mother board AI suite (ASUS) overclock. Haven't hit a temp higher than 41C after multiple-hour gaming sessions in Far Cry 3. I used an X application pattern on top of the processor to ensure generous area coverage.

    This product is a great replacement for the thermal paste that comes on heatsinks and Water Cooler units for the CPU. Went from Idle temp's of 55-60 degrees C, to 28-35 degrees C at idle. Computer is much more stable after replacing factory thermal paste with this product

    I bought this because I needed to replace someones CPU. It worked as expected. I'm not sure about the performance of this, but it spread pretty well. It also comes with its own little plastic applicator.

    Once again very pleased with this product works amazingly and has yet to let me down. Just graded to a new CPU and its thermal load is remaining extremely low when paired with an aftermarket CPU cooler.

    I am new to changing processors and such. Although name brand products don't always live up to their name, I would trust the experience of many others on this one. Until I find that a generic is equal in quality, I will stick with this. It seems to flow nicely and coverage is complete when applied correctly.

    It's a great product, I've been using it for years and will continue to use it. Make sure not to use too much, a very small amount will do or you will cause the wrong effect on the processor.

    It's thermal paste, and it works.

    It's thermal paste, not much to say about it really. It does what it's supposed to do. Tore apart the girlfriend's laptop for a cleaning and ditched the adhesive patch on the CPU in lieu of some decent paste. Computer still runs, and a bit cooler, but probably because I blew out a bunch of dust, as well. Unfortunately, the "DIY" aisle of computer parts seems to be getting smaller and smaller at my local BB, so I had to hunt around for it for a few minutes.

    Antec puts out a great product when it comes to power supplies and cooling and this product is no different. After regreasing my laptop CPU heatsink, I saw about a 20° decrease in CPU heat.
