    Decent thermal paste but doesn't provide clear instructions on installation and resulted in my laptop getting fried.

      Hi Surprise,

      Sorry to hear, thermal paste installation can vary between laptop systems, but the general application of thermal paste should be very similar to desktop systems. We'd like to help! Please reach out to our support team so we can work with you directly: support.corsair.com

    Was excited for this paste-- had an application template and smearing card, however, the actual paste was not cohesive there was water at the top of the tube and the bottom was so thick you got smears. Definitely had the consistency of a thick high performance paste, but the separation was a problem.

    Do not recommend!

    Use this thermal paste December of 21 to build my PC I have had to repaste my CPU four times in the matter of a year due to booting and CPU overheating on booting within a matter of about three to four months. I have replaced paste and be good for another three to four months till it does it again. I went through the entire syringe in less than a year the beginning of the syringe was very thick the end of it was very thin almost water like! Over all I am highly dissatisfied with this product and it's the only thing they sell in store! Especially considering everything in my PC is brand new and they're playing with a $400 processor! Not to mention the motherboard!
