    Bought this to put on my laptop cpu, as it was overheating a lot. Worked great for the first month or so, but now the temperatures are almost where they were before I applied the new thermal paste.

    This compound is very simple to use and comes in a nice syringe so it's not messy at all and last forever. The price is great for how much you get and comes with a cap so you can use it again latter if needed.

    Insignia Thermal Compound works great!

    So far I've reseated 2 CPU and one GPU heatsinks with this Insignia thermal compound. The application was super easy due to the syringe design and all the components are working well! Plus I have a lot of compound left for jobs into the future. The syringe comes with a handy cap which keeps everything fresh for the next application. I wasn't sure about spending the money for it but I'm glad I did.

    This compound allowed me to fill in small gaps between the heatpipes and the aluminum plates. Helps to Keep my new FX-8320 nice and cool. Application was smooth not to fluid or thick, does dry quick so smooth it out as soon as its applied. Add another pea drop to the top of the processor and great contact is made.

    Dropped 7700k Temps 10 degrees from stock paste

    Don't be scared off by the generic best buy brand thermal paste like I was. I was really surprised with the quality of this thermal paste. It might have just been that the paste that came with my Cryorig H5 Universal was garbage. (Cryorig CP7) Bought this in a pinch to see if it would help with temps, and I went from 45 idle to 35 idle. It's probably not the best paste out there, but if you're having trouble with the stock stuff that comes with your cooler, give this a try. Just a tip to anyone using this in a desktop computer for a CPU cooler, throw the spreader that comes with this away. Squeeze a dot that's around 3/4 the size of a pea, and mount your CPU cooler/Water cooler block on top of it and let it spread naturally. This stuff is extremely runny and will spread on its own just fine. You'll likely get a lot better temps. Only knocking off a star because this product is around double the price of other high end thermal pastes that can be purchased online.

    It does the Job, needs more consistency

    thermal paste is thermal paste so I know it will do the job i need it do but workiing with this was a little difficult since this has a more liquid quality that say arctic silver thermal paste so it a little messier to work with. I used it on my CPU with my Corsair Hydro H80i GT and it is working great!

    I guess this product works as expected. When I used it between my CPU and heatsink I used too much. It would be better if it was available in a single use packet..

    This was the less expensive of two brands carried in the Best Buy location I visited. Easy to open packaging, nice applicator. Used maybe 1/5 of the syringe on one processor. Tip cap ensures the paste won't be dried up for next time. Recommend!

    Does the Job, But There's Better

    I used this thermal compound with my NZXT Kraken X61 CPU cooler and an i7-6700K. I just needed something quick until I ordered some better compound, and I didn't want to wait for it to come in to build my PC, and Best Buy was close. It worked, my idle temps were around 29 degrees and hit 60 degrees under load. My issue with this compound was that it's really runny. I didn't use a lot, just a small line. But when I took off the water block, the compound was really stringy and dripped all over my CPU socket. It took me longer to clean up the mess this compound left than it did to disassemble and reassemble my PC to swap compounds. It does the job, I'll give it that. But it would have saved me a headache had I just waited. If you're using this as a temporary solution like I did and plan to replace it quickly, just wait. I'm now using some Shin-etsu compound and my temps have decreased by about 6-7 degrees across the board.

    I bought this for switching out a process on a computer like most of you will as well. It works. Well I mean my cpu hasn't burst into flames so I'm assuming its working.

    No complains about Insignia Thermal Compound, works as i supposes to. I'm running a Intel i7 4930k with water cooling (H55), and temp us normally under 35 C. Only recommendation make a smaller tube and decrease the price a little bit you don't need that much of thermal compound .
