    Paste was separated

    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.

    Meh. It's okay. I'd suggest going with Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut, especially at this price point.

    Manual is printed poorly - one page of english instructions were cut off so Inhad to translate from a different language. Application stencil is absolute garbage. There is no way for it to stay secure while applying to a Ryzen series chip. The film is too large tonlay flat and bubbles, requiring another person to hold it in place while applying the thermal compound.

    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!

    This performed super poorly compared to the cheaper tg-7. My laptop was thermal throttling so I repasted with this only to get similar results. Then repasted with the tg-7 and I’m 10-12C cooler.

      Hi someone,

      That's correct, our all-in-one coolers come with pre-applied thermal paste and are ready for use. The thermal paste kit is for those who re-installing coolers or have coolers that do not have pre-applied thermal paste.

      Hello,

      Please remember that not only do idle and load temperatures matter but also how quickly your CPU can get back to idle temps after being at load.

    Impossible to apply. It comes out in globs and won't spread properly. It's very lumpy, not runny like it's supposed to be. I'll buy from somewhere else.
