    For the money, this thermal compound is a great deal. Plus, it's enough for several uses, not just 1 or 2 like most others. I would recommend for most computers. Although, if you're going to be gaming and your machine could be prone to getting hotter than most others, I would say you should invest in something a bit better.

    I purchased this after trying to figure out why I kept having graphics card issue on my laptop. When I opened it up every spot the thermal paste had been applied needed a second coat. Since adding more my computer has stop cutting off when the fans run. Plus, the glitches of the screen have stopped also. I think this was due to the components being too hot.

    I had no problem with this item. Read a lot of bad reviews about it being thin or watery, and that's not my experience at all!!! Nice thick compound, mixed well, worked perfectly for under CPU like I needed it too. Been almost 2 months and not a problem yet!! Definitely worth it seeing how much cheaper it is than the others and I cant tell any difference between them at all! Save yourself some $$$ and stick with this!! Does it job, and does it well!!!

    Needed thermal paste to fix my wife’s Dell All in One desktop. The original paste that connects CPU and GPU to the the heat sync had gotten all dried out over the years which was causing the computer to overheat and not boot up. Between paying roughly $7 for this product and a heat gun I was able to get the computer working again!

    My old PS4 was running hot, and making the loud jet engine sound. I bought a new fan to replace the older one. Need this compound to replace the old dry compound on the GPU. Works really well , and PS4 is running smooth again.

    I bought this stuff to make thermal contact in a specialized military PC. It gets very hot and I needed something to conduct heat from the processor board to the very thick and rugged aluminum housing. My only complaint is that you have to be very careful with this stuff because it is messy and stains.

    My mid-2012 Macbook Pro wasn't handling the heat very well, the fan wasn't stopping, I never had changed the thermal paste, so I bought this thermal paste and applied to the CPU. What a nice heat dissipation, no more unstoppable fan. Even the aluminum body is way less warm.

    Better than pads

    I tried to take the easy way out and use a pad (forgot what it was called) as the conductor. However, my chip ran hot so I took it off and used this paste. Immediate difference. Very easy to apply, plenty left over after application, and continues to run at normal temperatures after many hours of operation.

    I bought this to reseat the CPU and it works great. Compared to brands I've used in the past this is top notch. I immediately noticed a drop in CPU temp. Since nothing else was changed I'll just believe it was an old thermal paste problem. You can put the applicator cover back on for reuse later as well.

    I needed a thermal heat conductive product to change a cooling fan on a mini computer. Was convinced it would not be an in store product, but it was in my local Best Buy. It meets the Specs of what was required and came with an application scapula which made the process easier.

    We all know to toss the junk that comes with cpu coolers. I bought this to go with a Cooler Master Hyper212 EVO/i7-7700k combo and my temps have never gone over 65°C at the stock 4.4GHz clock, however i'm certain i could push this up to 5GHz if i wanted to with stable temps.
