    CPU Running hot now

    This stuff is cheap and unreliable. Before applying this, I've never had overheating issues. I only replaced it because I had to replace a damaged tower case and rebuild my PC. I used a corsair H100i Pro in combination with Arctic Silver 5 to cool my Ryzen 5 3600. I've never had issues with overheating until buying this stuff. This material does not transfer heat well. My AIO pump and the fans have to be set to extreme mode when gaming. Otherwise the CPU will overheat faster than the heat can be transferred. I've reapplied the paste multiple times just in case. but the results have been the same. My fans and pump need to work harder because of this product. Do yourself a favor and get something else more reputable like Arctic Silver.

      Hi,

      Sorry to hear about your experience. Please verify the thermal paste is making proper contact between the AIO and CPU. If the issue persists, please contact support via our website - we'd appreciate the opportunity to further look into this and provide a replacement tube.

    I would recommend this to anyone who is not re-pasting a high-end CPU or GPU. It does a good enough job.

    I have bought many tubes of this stuff because I didn't know any better at the time, after a few months of applying it I took my CPU cooler off on both my MacBook and gaming laptop and both were completely dried out and looked like it was applied years ago

    Do not purchase this thermal paste, this has the worst rating for heat removal when you compare. I was in a hurry and just grabbed it before looking up its spec's. You want to look for watts per Meter Kelvin or W/mK. Corsair has a W/mK of 3.8W/mK. The higher the number the better the efficiency of heat transfer. Cooler Master High Performance has a rating of 4.5W/mK and is on sale for $3.99. Cooler Master Master Gel is 11W/mK and is on sale for $11.99. Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut is still one of the best on the market and can be had for same price as this Corsair and is 3 times more efficient. Do not risk your hardware with this product.
