    Amazing

    Worked easier than I thought. It has been more than 3 years since I built my PC and had to replace some out dated components. This kit made applying thermal paste so easy and clean.

    Comes with Template for Proper Spread Amount

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    This paste comes with a manufacturer square style template to properly apply the thermal paste with the correct amount and with a perfect shape. It is also shown to be used with the H115i Liquid Cooler in official video documentation. It's easy to apply and outperforms Arctic Silver. However, the 4th picture's usage does not match with using a template. The price is 2 times higher than I'd expect given most pastes are around the $7 or $8 mark and the standard shelf life is normally 2 years. Most pastes have to run through a cycle of a period of time before they settle to their full average temp range during a burn in period, some being 400 to 600 hours of usage. And some need to be replaced every 4 to 7 years under normal usage for when they dry out, but the longer lasting higher quality ones should go 7 to 10 or more years no problem unless you constantly use them at higher temps and overclock.

    Not much to say about Thermal Paste... It is easy to apply and works well with my Ryzen 9 5900x. Keeps the CPU temps down below 35 degrees Celcius with average processing loads...

    Vague details, great paste.

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Although this kit includes “kit” within it’s name, the contents stated on the box, with just icons, has very vague details on the box itself. It does not have (complimentary) thermal pads, which I was under the impression contained them after questioning an employee. So if you believe you don’t have spares, go ahead and buy the thermal pads. The 4 stars is meant for the thermal paste alone. I feel anyone, that’s dealing with assembling and disassembling of electronics should have the necessary tools to apply the paste and pads, and should not have to pay twice the paste value for an utterly useless “kit.” I would only recommend buying the paste at their stated price. Everything else within kit can be easily substituted with two expired plastic cards, one for dispersing and the other with shape cutouts or whatever for portion control.

    GPU temps went from 87c-89c to 63c-65c

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    This stuff worked great for my GTX 1080Ti GPU. Overtime my temps were getting hotter and hotter to where it be 87-89c with fans at 100%. I replaced the thermal paste with this and HUGE difference on temps. I was thinking I would be high 70c but ended up beind mid - 60c. I cleaned the old stuff off and applied a dime size drop in the middle and sandwiched it back together. I should of done it a long time ago. Now remember every temps will be different depending on card and airflow with case but it def helped me.

    My laptop used to thermal throttle under very light loads. Now I can run CAD programs and the CPU temp stays around 55-65°C

    Excellent product.

    I am very pleased with my purchase. Not only did it keep my cpu under load (1.35V) at 61 degrees C compared to 85 C is amazing. The instructions are simple to understand, but sometimes dont apply to your build. Instructions say to stick the stencile on your aio pump to apply paste, but found it best to apply the stencile to the chip directly while mounted on the motherboard. TIP: Its thick might have to do application from both ends to be even.

    Performs as good as the rest, even if a bit pricier, store pick up / immediate access was worth the extra coins. I've trusted Corsair in many builds and am not disappointed with the perf paste.

    Wow! Better than the other ones that I use. The other ones that I was using, the temp went down to 40, but this one, it went down to 20, and it's very nice. Be very careful while using this, or you will mess up your motherboard, CPU and the processor.

    Spread nicely on the CPU. Attaching liquid cooler to a Intel CPU. Had more than enough grease for the CPU.

    Does Not Spread Correctly

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    This thermal paste does not spread correctly. If you try to spread it thin it does not wet to the surface of the cpu die. It gums up and behaves like a thin putty, which makes it difficult to get full coverage. I had to waste quite a bit of paste to get an acceptable application. It is easier to apply IC Diamond or Arctic Silver 5, which perform similarly. I had a better time applying liquid metal. Given the relative expense and poor application characteristics I do not recommend this paste.
