    I bought this from Best Buy so I could replace the Xbox 360 thermal paste that was dry. Unfortunately this thermal paste I bought from Best Buy was also dry. Be careful on the thermal paste you buy because it affects the health of any technical device

      Hi Edgar,

      Sorry to hear about the thermal paste being dry, you can place the tube into some warm water before application and it can help to loosen up the thermal paste. If you'd like some help, please feel free to reach out to our support team: support.corsair.com

    Paste was unnecessary for a standard build. Low value for the amount of paste received

    No actual thermal paste in the box. Had a nice plastic piece to smear the paste and a nice sticker. Just an empty slot in the plastic container where obviously the paste syringe would be. Box was sealed. Figured it was not added at the factory.

    I like most Corsair stuff but I honestly was very disappointed with this thermal paste. Much better options out there. It works ok so that's why 3 stars.

    Horrible. I've used many types of thermal compound over the years but this junk was horrible. Gunked up, was gummy, couldn't spread it using the included kit. Waste of $15.

    When this was purchased in store the paste was dried out and very hard to apply or spread. I notice at least a 5° difference when using other pastes I have available.

    As the title says, no method won't leave surfaces without being empty. It's so viscous even spatula can't spread them out eventually. Avoid

      Hi,

      It does not at all hide it, if you flip the box to the back it'd be the topmost information on that right side: 5g.
