    This thermal paste is a great cooling agent for any overheating electronics. I used it on several laptops and it instantly brought their temperatures down alot. No more hot legs while using them as a laptop stand.

    I used this when I replaced the cooling fan in my laptop. It applied easily, and did not run during application. Since it is a heat transfer medium, it seemed to transfer the heat to the cooling/fan system good.

    If your buying this item it's because you know what it's for. It does what it's suppose to do just fine. Was cleaning an older build and cleaning fans, etc. replaced the old compound and replaced easy with this applicator. Remember, a little goes a LONG way.

    I prefer to build my computers than buy them. Usually processors come with thermal paste but it needs to be reapplied every so often. So I grabbed this stuff and it's great! It comes out if the tube easily and smoothly. I love it!

    The thermal compound worked great; however, I needed a bb size amount. About 1/500th the amount in the tube. They could have sold me 1/10 the size and charged $3 instead of $11 and they would have still made a huge profit.

    I switched cpu and fan to new motherboard without adding any new thermal compound. The running temp was on the high side. Put on some additional compound and now the cpu is running in the normal range.

    The heatsink connected to my cpu had come loose and the fan connected to it was always running. Used this paste to reconnect the heatsink to the cpu and my pc is quiet again. The paste did what it was suppose to do.

    Needed to re-seat my Macbook Pro heat sink. Used the thermal paste directly on the GPU and CPU. The small syringe worked great and easily distributed the right amount!

    This thermal paste comes with a spatula for spreading the paste. This allows you to spread it on as a thin coat and not waste it. The thermal paste works well as I have not had any problems with heat transfer.

    Works like intended. It has low viscosity and looks a bit greasy sometimes, but keeps a non-overclocked cpu at the tempts it should. Would only use on low end CPUs. Go for a premium thermal paste online for anything like an i7, or for a video card.

    Can't say much, other than this product worked exactly as intended. Easy to use, no mess, used exactly the amount I wanted. It even came with a small spreader tool to help spread the compound out evenly.

    Worked like a champ. Needed a new motherboard for an older PC and obviously had to move the processor to the new board (thus the need for the thermal compound). It's been working perfectly.

    My motherboard died and I ended up needing to pop my intel i7 5860 into a new x99 board - ran to the local best buy and picked this up. Ive had zero heat issues. Works great!

    There are going to be pastes out there that will cause you to have even more cooling, but for a more affordable and good all-around paste, this fits the bill and works perfectly

    Used it to fix up an old overheating computer's processor. Good packaging and easy to use. No problems at all so I'm glad I didn't pony up more for a more expensive brand.
