This is pretty good stuff. I had to use some generic white thermal compound while re-building my PC as I couldn't find my tube of trusty Arctic Silver 5. I thought it wouldn't be doing as good a job as some decent stuff, so I ordered this which came in a large 8g tube for less than 3.5g of AS5. 8g is enough for many CPU installations. I did my research and saw it's been reviewed professionally as being better than AS5 on a number of sites.While brand of thermal paste shouldn't make a huge difference (as long as you use something) it was immediately obvious that this had dropped CPU temperatures by about 5 degrees across the load range, compared to the generic paste. It might not sound like I lot,

This stuff came pre-applied with the copper Heat sink (FREEZER 7 Pro Rev.2) LGA1156 for my "Core i5 750" and (MSI P55-GD65 Motherboard).After burning in, I've successfully managed to get unbelievably low temps I've never seen before, in 12 years PC building.Ok, the new P55 LGA1156 Mobo, has also a lot to do with it, however, Ive trawelled the internet, and cannot seem to find anyone else with temps even close to mine.Used a Corsair HX 850w PSU, and HAF 922 Case with 4 FANS - 2 intake, and 2 output. (HAF) high air flow.Temps with Real Temp 3.40 graph software, Min (idle) 12c, and under load 32c - also aggressively load test 42c. with "Everest aggressive benchmark"!...(all at stock 2.66Ghz,

I've been working in a laptop repair shop and I have my own laptop repair business. We've been using various lower-grade heating paste products at work, but we have switched to MX-2, and it surely makes the difference.I've been always using Arctic Silver AS5 for my own business, but due to cost-reasons, I've decided to try this paste instead, as AS5 comes only in 3g package and is much more expensive. Honestly, there's barely any difference between those two, judging by 3 months of use on my own PC's and on a couple of customer's machines. Considering the price difference, I'm going to stick to MX-2.

Genuinely gobsmacked at how amazing this paste is! I have an XFX 7870 Tahiti Le that was hitting 103 degrees C while playing games like crysis 3 and Battlefield 4, so decided to open that bad boy up and clean it up a little. Bought this paste, cleaned the dried concrete that was used as thermal paste by xfx and used this stuff on it. Was told that it was just a hot card and changing the TIM won't help anything, turns out it reduced temps to 70 degrees MAX while on Crysis 3 and have yet to try BF4! Great purchase that's given new life to my good ol' 7870 xt!

It is a lot better to have a controllable amount of thermal paste than a pre-applied one. The solution does a really good job and keeps the CPU temperature to really good levels. I believe it went down from 47 C on idle when I checked in BIOS for the first time and the next time I saw it being close to 40 C when I checked it again after stress testing it with a game. With the game running, it went from 35-36 up to 42-46, basically the temperature range was between 36 and 46 when the game was running.

I never realised how much of a difference a high quality paste like this can make compared to a cheap thermal paste I'd been using. I'd read good reviews and even though the price seems high for how little you get I thought I'd give it a go and see if it could prevent my laptop overheating which it did from time to time. Needless to say my temperatures dropped significantly which was a huge surprise but a good one. I would highly recommend this, it has solved any overheating problems I had.

I used it when my laptop fan gave up (acer i7 cpu). Read online that if replacing fan you should also refresh the thermal paste. And I'm glad that I did as it is a lot of work opening the laptop and getting this done in one session is better.Also I have noticed that my laptop stays quite cooler then before and fan also stays at low rpm most of the timeAnother thing is that I've hardly used 2 drops, you don't need such a quantity unless you do this professionally

There are many different types of thermal paste out there, each one battling for every 0.1 degree celsius in heat dissappation, so I'd recommend reading some reviews before choosing one because sometimes paying more does not automatically equate to a better product.I went for the Artic MX2 because it strikes a good balance between performance, price and quality, and its suits my intended application on Playstation 3 and AMD chipsets.

I chose this to use with my Xbox Slim using a Talismoon Whisper Slim Fan, before using the paste the fan was rather loud and heat dispersal was hot too, I applied the paste to the chip, re-assembled the Xbox and left it idle for a while to 'help set the paste' lol. After playing GTA V for a while I had noticed a big change in the temperature and noise of the fan, it was a lot cooler and quieter than it was before!

I have used MX-5 before and I was very pleased with it, after reading reviews saying that MX-2 is better I tried it......well I didnt notice any difference to be honest BUT I love Arctic paste, it is easy to apply and this WILL lower the temperatures of your CPU ( my 8350 with air cooling runs at 28c idle, 3c less after using this paste) So just choose which MX-? is cheapest at the time as prices vary a lot.

The paste comes into its own once burnt in a little but go for the update since it cools a little better. I would recommend this version for all console repairs and laptops since it settles better than other pastes. If you are skeptical then you are a fool, I have used this many a time and have no issues. The console I repaired last hums instead of roars because the paste helps keeps the CPU cooler.

Very good thermal paste, and excellent delivery.My laptop was getting very hot in a short space of time, so decided to clean out the fluff from the fan and use this thermal paste to replace the old existing paste on my Dell's CPU.Thermal paste works very well and transfers the heat away from the CPU.Now laptop does not get very hot and the fan no longer kicks in every few minutes.

This thermal compound was great,the viscosity was not too runny nor too thick and when combined with the LESHP CPU cooler 4xpipe it kept my a10-7700k under 50 at all times in the 20's at idle.It was easy to apply just squeeze out a rice grain sized blob and install the heat sink.You get enough for multiple builds which is good as i plan on upgrading in a number of months.

I used this with my Intel i3 6100 and its stock cooler and have been very impressed by its performance. If you apply it right, it can seriously improve CPU temperatures. For me, all CPU cores showed as ~22° at idle in MSI Afterburner, and not too much higher at load! Honestly, this is definitely value for money, the tube contains enough of the substance for many future uses.

Excellent product. Repasted my 2-3 year old laptop and while gaming now I experience ~10 degrees Celsius lower temperatures on CPU and GPU. It is definitely worth the money. A bit difficult to disperse around the surface (since it's a dense compound), but using a small tool it can be done easily. The laptop now runs more silently under load, even from the time I bought it.
