    Works great, big quantity for cheap. Better than arctic and the cheap stock paste that comes with coolers.

    The paste works great and is easy to use. I used it on my Ryzen 3600x when I upgraded to an AIO. Only thing you should note: The paste is a little stringy (just like every other thermal paste) so if you’ve never used it, squeeze a little out on to a paper towel or something to get used to it.

    I've been refurbishing original XBOXs recently and this has been a perfect fit. These consoles are 15-20 years old so the fresh thermal paste makes a noticeable difference in temperature. I have also used this on modern consoles with similar results.

    I purchased this because I needed a thermal paste asap and bestbuy had it in store. I know that Grizzly Kryonaut is the best thermal paste out there, but this paste performs very similarly despite the negative reviews on the internet. The average temperature and the temp curve of the 2 thermal pastes looks almost identical when running cpu benchmarks.

    Works great and is easy to apply. Make sure your surfaces are clean and you apply the appropriate amount as per the instructions. Comes with an applicator to make things easier. We noticed a considerable drop in temperatures on equipment that was already in service and thought to be performing well already.

    A not bad backup brand when you’re in a hurry to work on a PC build. It’s a must-have for any PC build, offering excellent thermal conductivity and super easy application. Plus, it was super convenient to grab it at my local Best Buy, making last-minute build prep a breeze.

    The tube was easy to use, it went on quick and they had two spreaders. Seems to be working fine, the machine is running good; It is older Optiplez 755 with quad core Intel processor, and the heat sink material on it has baked to a hard cake. Good price, got here quick. Note: I put this on my CPU and started playing Diablo III. Because the fan isn't coming on (this was before I even bought the Paste) I could play maybe 5 minutes before the CPU shutdown from overheating. After I cleaned off the old stuff that was like a hardened clay consistency, and spread this on, even though the fan is still not working, I can play diablo for nearly 1/2 an hour with no fan. That alone tells me this stuff works very well.

    It is some really good thermal paste. It was available and relatively cheap, so I am happy. The performance is pretty good and it is not too hard to apply. You can't go wrong with this stuff.

    The thermal paste was simple to use. I have not had any issue since applying it on my desktop. I have an AMD 3700 cpu and the wraith prism cooling fan that came with it. Aside from intense tasks, I have not had my cpu temperature reach above 70 degrees.

    Thermal paste works great! I got lower temperatures compared to the stock paste that came with my cooler. Easy to put on and it doesn’t come flying out of the tube like some other brands do. Also comes with a plastic piece to help spread it!
