    I trust Corsair as a brand. This compound did not meet the expectations I had for them. It worked well, at first. But within 3 months I was getting odd temps. Purchased arctic mx-4 and haven’t had any issues since.

      Hello Devin,

      Unfortunate, some product does get left on the shelf or pushed towards the back and dries after a while. Our team can also help with anything if you need to reach out directly on our site!

    For some reason, the paste was very abrasive and would not spread without cracking. The thermal paste seemed very chalky.

    Poor Performance, Messy, and Overpriced

    I could deal with it being super runny and messy if it actually performed well. I bought this to compare against the new Arctic MX-6 which costs only $1 more than this crap. Using MX-6 resulted in over 500 points extra on Cinebench R23 compared to TM30. Massive difference in thermals.

    Every time I try and use this it comes out all all soupy, there's a bunch of liquid that comes out with the paste that makes this more difficult to apply.

      Hi codyallen113,

      Sorry to hear, you can get the thermal paste softened if you place the tube in a cup of warm water for a few minutes. If you were still get hot temps after, perhaps we can help with the application method you were using on the CPU? If you'd like assistance, please feel free to reach out to our support team: support.corsair.com

      Hello Gino,

      You'd not have an issue with this paste, whether watery or not. Was the paste added just too much and coming off of its application on top of the IHS? Feel free to contact us at any time for assistance: support.corsair.com

      Hello Azzalen,

      That's unfortunate, does happen when paste has been sitting on the shelf for quite a while as some vendors don't follow the First In, First out, rule. Do effectuate an exchange or contact our team directly on our site at any time for assistance.
