    I used this to replace the thermal paste on my original PS4. The PS4 is now DEAD SILENT! I've played many hours since applyimg this thermal paste, and haven't heard my PS4 begin to take flight haha. Great buy, easy to use, and highly recommended.

    Great thermal paste for in a pinch. Used on a Strix 2080 Super GPU due to it black screening. It has held up perfectly and GPU runs even a bit cooler under load in RTX games with it on. I dont super OC my GPU so for those that want super max frames may still wanna go with a thermal grizzly or liquid metal. But for basic use its great. Even redid the paste on 8700k with a NZXT Kraken 280 AIO and its holding up with that OC to a stable 4.9.

    Works as designed. Great instructions and really like the plastic cutout used to put thermal paste on chip. 50 cc more than enough for Ryzen chip. A lot to pay for a small amount of paste but application is critical to CPU life.

    I've used other thermal pastes before and this worked just fine. My PS4 was a jet engine, and now it's silent(fan is still running I checked, it was that drastic of a change that I thought I didn't plug the fan back in) Gonna use it on my laptop and ps3 next sense there's plenty left How long does it hold up? I dunno we'll find out in the coming years, but most paste dries up over years anyway. Save your equipments life by cleaning as often as you can and reapplying thermal paste when it starts getting hotter or louder than it was before. 4 solid stars

    Decent if you're not looking for amazing cooling. It will get the job done, but there are better pastes out there like Gelid GC Extreme.

    This paste helped my PC when it was overheating, an employee whos name i forgot provided me good information about what the problem of my PC could be and to look to him for assistance if the paste didnt work. Both the product and the employee provided wonderful assistance

    I Usually love the items i buy from best buy, great price and great product, however this thermal paste didn’t spread well. I tried multiple different patters but it just wouldn’t spread across my CPU evenly, even with the spread stick thing it came with. Eventually i just used what i had left after the multiple attempts to just coat the CPU pretty much and it works great, no overheating the temp is great, but the spread was terrible that’s all.

    Had a PC overheating, was getting temp warnings in Eventlog. Ran out to BestBuy thankfully they carried the Thermal paste and had it on hand. Worked like a charm, it did the trick. No issues since. Thanks
