    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.

    The kit provided come with something similar to a stencil for you to apply thermal paste. It works great for my temps and there's nothing much else I can say besides it cool well.

    Kit vs just buying the tube of paste.

    I recommend Corsair XTM50 High Performance Thermal Paste. Before buying I was wondering what is this "kit" vs just buying a tube of the paste. Well if you're interested to know --- the "kit" is just a piece of clear plastic with a square hole in it slightly smaller than a CPU, so in reality it's something you could make yourself if you have a spare piece of flimsy clear plastic that you can cut a square hole in using a sharp blade such as an Exacto knife. Or you can apply the paste without using a clear plastic guide. But if you are typically messy with pastes and liquids and if you are in a hurry to build your computer, their extra plastic piece will protect your motherboard from getting paste on it, and it will speed up the process of applying an even layer of paste onto your CPU.

    Got to apply this for my upgrade build. Using it on my Ryzen 9 5900x and my temps along with all my cooling are on average of 48°C while playing games and streaming. Idle temps at 38.4°C.

    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

    Easy to apply, but not the best for over clockers. This thermal paste will do the job, but there is a place for everything. Systems that are not undergoing stress, like office machines are a good example. PCs that will be used for K-12 public school are another. I used this for my mother's build - she's not a gamer. It works fine. But, for my latest Intel Gen 12 build I will still be using Arctic Silver 5.

    I was repairing a computer that had multiple issues and one issue happened to be overheating. After cleaning the fan didn't help I came to the conclusion that the thermal paste was old. The CPU was running at 90°C with the old paste and dropped down to 50°C after applying the new paste. I would highly reccomend this product and will be using it for future repairs.

    It was pretty cheap compared to the other ones that are better quality. It did its job. There are more expensive ones but it just depends what you’re looking for but this is great if it fits your needs!

    Applies much differently than most thermal pastes. This really does require using the included 'spatula'. However, I didn't use the included 'mask' because quite honestly, I didn't know it was included in the package as well. As it turns out, that was not needed. There are YouTube videos to fully explain the application of the paste. Bottom line, getting good temps (<= 75C) on my Ryzen 9 5900x even at full load.

    Little runny but works awesome! If they changed the formula to make it thicker and less watery would give 5 stars

    The paste is good, but the really interesting part is the applicator they provide with it. If you're careful with the CPU-mask you can clean it off and reuse it. I just wish that was the intent.

    Works well, does the job it's supposed to do, keeps CPUs cool and doesn't dry out quickly. Still prefer Thermal Grizzly, but whenever that isn't available, this is my go to!
