    The paste spread poorly and I honestly don't think there was enough for the cost.

    In a pinch for testing this works. Not recommended. I would rather have more options, too bad this is all they offer at the store. Not very good selection in my store unfortunately

    Purchased this from a physical location and it must have been sitting for years. It was hard and mostly dried out. I would not spread and when I used a bead and mounted the cooler it barely spread. Maybe buy direct from Corsair, but I ended up just using the paste that came with my AIO.

    Paste was almost dry. Felt luke playdoh. Didnt srick to surface. Maybe old or just poorly designed product. I shouldnt have to use an applicator pad and waste 70%of paste that wont even end up on the cpu surface. there is other paste that works better and it applies with less waste

      Hello,

      Sorry to hear. The product has been probably sitting on the shelf at the location that you picked it up, unfortunately, as sometimes not all will follow the FiFo (First in, First Out) when receiving merchandise.

      If there's anything our team can clarify, do contact them directly on our site at any time.

    Not the greatest paste I've ever used. It came out of tube kind of dry and hard to spread. I would recommend the Noctua paste over this one. Maybe the tube I got had just been on the shelf too long.

      Hello,

      That's unfortunate, I've seen this at times but it's rare for the paste to sit too long before sale happens. Do return it for a full refund at your earliest convenience.

      That's unfortunate to hear, do effectuate an exchange as that's not a normal problem unless paste has been sitting on the shelf for a long while.
