    It’s easier to apply than it may look and the application is a little messy but works really well. I would definitely recommend it to first time pc buyers who are nervous about applying too much paste

    I'm a new computer "builder" and (still) have limited knowledge of all the parts and components...but I'm learning and loving it! Was using the "lighter" Corsair thermal paste and never had any issues. But now that I've installed some liquid coolers I figured that this may help even more to lower CPU temps. It applies well, comes with a credit card-like applicator as well as a "stencil" that you can place around the chip to keep the paste on top of the chip, lessening chances of a messy application. So far, so good! Not sure if there was any major temp changes but, to me, peace of mind goes a long way! Would definitely recommend!

    I like how the kit includes an application spreader and template that fits around the processor so the paste can be spread evenly and smoothly onto the CPU Chip. Worked great for mine.

    Thicker than the thermal pastes I'm used to, but have upgraded the processor in a few machines and it seems to keep the thermals good, even on an old P4 machine.

    It's a good thermal paste for the value, it's usable around 3 times as long as you preserve it and use it efficiently. It also comes with a tool to spread the paste over the CPU.

    Used it for CPU and GPU AIO installations. Work good for CPU (Ryzen 2700X OC @4.22GHZ), idle temp sits around 27C with an ambient air temp of 75F on a Corsair H150 pro 360mm. GPU is a Radeon VII OC @2GHZ, paste keeps things under 100C junction temps for the most part. Pretty good bang for the buck

    This paste actually worked out better than anticpated. You start to realize most bad reviews are just people who usually dont apply it right. I used this on a ps4 pro, and the difference was night and day. What sounded like Cape Canivarl, tuned into a modest whisper. I use kryonaut on my main pc and dont feel like theres to much difference. I dont advise using the plastic to apply the perfect amount, there is no such thing. A ps4 chip is small than say a ryzen cpu, ideally you want to apply enough in the center so that it spreads even over the chip. Aslong as you do this your paste should always perform. Would buy again in a pinch.
