    Its just think its ok. A little too pasty and thick. Not very easy to spread. Dont know if its supposed to be like this but it was ok. I know there are better ones on the market.

    Needed to replace a motherboard unexpectedly, picked this up after reading some comparisons online and was pleasantly surprised. There is more than enough compound for multiple installs, and I will be replacing the stock paste in future builds for this as the difference was 5-10 degrees Celsius

    This product works as expected. I will say that the overall viscosity when trying to push it out of the tube was very difficult.

    The paste was a little harder to apply than anticipated. It may have just been a bad tube but it was really thick and would not spread properly.

    i received my package from bestbuy and i was right to building my pc. installed my amd processor and went to apply this thermal paste and it came out like plaster. unable to spread it on the cpu or anything. not sure if it was an old batch or what... but just my personal experience. money down the drain.

    Simular to other paste reduce the heat of cpu from 76c to 54c under load and 42c at idol. Price is only because of the extra junk that isnt needed but can be used.
