    Replaced the cooling fan in my ps4, the generic hc thermal paste to cool the cpu. Was overheating again after a month. Popped the ps4 open, checked the cpu and the generic stuff had evaporated. I bought this corsair thermal paste from best buy. It does come out kind of runny which can be alarming -1 star because nobody warns you about that. But I can play heat intensive games like warframe and monster hunter HD with no issues. Prior to using this paste, would overheat after half an hour of call of duty modern warfare.

    Bought and used this to reapply paste to my Gigabyte Gaming OC 3090 that I took apart to fix the thermal pads and this paste has worked great! Temps have stayed under 60 and max of no more than 71 under max load.

    Was swapping my CPU in a pinch for M.2 upgrade and didn't have any thermal paste handy. Picked it up off the shelf and temperatures have been great. Was a little worried from online reviews but it was fine.

    I upgraded my CPU and because I'm using an AIO Cooler I decided to buy this kit which I considered a good value based on the paste and the application stencil and spreader. Of course you can always follow the traditional pea size approach and let the cooler plate spread the paste. I would recommend this if you prefer a clean application.

    This item costs a little more, but it provides additional protection for the CPU. As processor speed increases, this product becomes a must-have. Additionally, it comes with the items needed to apply the product. The less expensive version does not. As someone who builds computers as a hobby, I use this product and I highly recommended it.

    Corsair XTM50 Thermal Paste performs as advertised on my CPU. Took a couple of tries to apply the paste using the template and scraper. On my first attempt I didn't apply enough paste, so didn't get an even coat. Now that I have learned I like this paste and the application process.

    I was having issues with overheating. I replaced the existing paste, which had dried up, and added another 2 fans. The system is running great now.

    What can you say about thermal paste except it seems to be working as advertised. For the price, I thought this was a great deal since it will probably last me forever since I only rebuild my family's computers once every couple of years.

    This is the highest performing Thermal Paste Kit I have ever used! I had to re-seat my CPU 4 separate times because I forgot to upgrade my BIOS. This kit had plenty of gel for my multiple screw ups!

    I know thermal paste is nothing to write about but this was actually nice. The application of the thermal paste for my gpu and cpu was seemless and now I have the best temps I’ve had in a long time. Def recommend

    Works great! Came with a weird spreading tool I have never seen before. I did not use it and just applied the paste in the x pattern as I have normally. My GPU was crashing before and now I have not experienced any throttling or crashes so I would say it has done its job. And I have enough for like 10 more jobs lol. Yes works well
