Customer Ratings & Reviews

I like Corsair's products but i think I'd use another brand for this. It's not bad. It does it's job. My temps have been fine, but the consistency changed half way through the tube. It got kind of clumpy.

I bought this to reapply thermal pads and thermal paste to a 3090 (Gigabyte). This worked as expected. Temps dropped ~5 degrees C on the processor. I had even larger drops on the VRAM but that is cooled via thermal pads. If curious about replacing thermal pads, I'd recommend lots of research, youtube tutorials, and a lot of courage. The price is a little higher than on XTM30, I'm not really sure what the real difference is, but when I bought this, the other was out of stock.

Used this on my gpu (2080) and cpu (3800x) Both see atleast 5-10 degrees lower temps with this paste. Not the best on the market but much better than OEM

Great thermal paste applied once 2 years ago now no temp problems

Good thermal paste. Keeps temps pretty low although i do think its a bit overpiced compared to similar paste.

Works great for both desktop and laptop computers. Just be careful when you apply on laptops. Uses only a drop or two.

The thermal paste on my processor degraded over time and required replacement. This product has an above average heat transfer rating, even when compared to other Corsair products. Check the package and compare when buying. There is more than enough paste for a single application, so if you own more than one PC, you are covered. There was a large reduction in the running temperature of my CPU after applying. The cooler it runs, the longer it will last. If you need to replace your thermal paste, I highly recommend this product. I am very glad that I selected it.

Used this on a new build, I haven't had any issues with my temps going too high.

This product came with a stencil to apply the thermal paste onto my processor. Wasn’t necessary but definitely shows the effort put in by corsair

It’s one of the best one that I got so far!!!!!!!!

I've tried many different types of thermal pastes throughout the years, ranging from Arctic MX-4, to the stuff NZXT puts on their AIO coolers. I didn't really find a difference between thermal temps on my CPU (11th Gen Intel Core i7-11700 not over clocked). What I did see is that this is a little thicker than Arctic's. The thermal paste comes with a neat little smear tool and mold. I did not use it, as I felt it would make more of a mess and I wouldn't get an even spread. I used the fail-proof technique I learned in my CompTIA A+ classes, and used a pea sized amount at the center of the CPU. Personally I prefer Arctic's MX-4, its blue color, and thinner which means it will smear easier. But that isn't available at BestBuy, so I ended up buying this as its super convenient.

Very good thermo compound for aio coolers keeps my 5800x3d very cool

Removed the pre-applied paste from my water cooler to add this. Definitely runs a bit cooler now.

the CORSAIR - XTM50 High Performance Thermal Paste Kit worked as described and it was easy to use

I haven't made any tests or anything but it worked quite good.

Bought it because it was the best that Best Buy had. Put it on my i9 10900k with a cooler master hyper 212 with 1 fan in a nzxt 510 case. Cpu temps are at 60-70c streaming games, when it is warm in the house. With the ac on never goes over 60c. Also did my 1660 while I had it out, temps stay right at 50-60c when running on highest settings for hrs. Didn’t use the applicator or the stencil. Just put the amount that everyone says right in the middle of the chips. About 2 grains of rice, and tightened down evenly.

Works great use on all my gaming pc builds highly recommended

Works as expected. Simple item every system builder needs

This paste is amazing, I just recently upgraded my whole computer. And I’ve never had any problems.

Overall worked well, and the kit was easy to approach.
