One of the best performers.

None per se, it *is* thick

Those reviewers that give it poor ratings do not seem to know how to put on thermal compound properly. You should not need to smear it and spread it on. It's not toast. You can use hand pressure but to do it. You place your dab on the cpu, attach the heatsink properly so it's exerting it's full force then remove and confirm it's giving proper coverage. If there is too much you can remove a bit but if there is not enough you can add a small dab in areas it's missing.

-Solid Temperatures (Similar to AS5 and MX-4) -Non-conductive (Unlike AS5) -Pretty large tube when compared to other brands of paste, allowing for more reapplications if you mess up or just build computers

Spreading it, apparently. (Even though you're supposed to let the force of the cooler spread the paste)

Even though you're supposed to let the force of the cooler spread the paste, the thermals achieved by this product as well as the fact it's not conductive makes it (almost) idiot proof to do things like short your motherboard. It's good stuff and you won't be disappointed by it.

One of the best TIM I've used.

Used on a H80i. At first, I was perplexed as to why the temps were so high on my stock H80i. I suspected it was the pre-applied TIM and lo and behold, I was correct! Luckily, I had some NT-H1 laying around (from the NH-D14). Applied a pea sized amount, let the copper plate do the spreading, and my temps were significantly lower!

Very low temps

Not very cheap

All these 1 star reviewers don't understand how to apply this paste. Its in a different class the mx-4 and all those. It has less silicone in it and more whatever conductive material there is in it thats why its less viscious and harder to apply. But if you apply it right it has 2-3 degree better results. Watch a youtube video on how to apply-_-

its suppose to be good..

it was too thick to apply and to spread and the temp. were so high that i had to use just stock TIM that came with my hyper 212 evo

Ummmmm..

Hard to spread, like puddy.. Don't find it's working all that great..

I went in to purchase MX-4.. they had a few in stock online, but for some reason they couldn't find any at the store.. They then recommended this crap! I hate when I do research on a product that i want to purchase to find they can't find any even though their stock online confirms they do. Then I'm recommended another product i've done zero research on...to find out the info they gace me on the product is false.. Such a piss off! No it's not easy to apply! it's like applying playdoe!

Reputation

Mine was old and like putty! Not good enough, especially when I asked for MX4 which was apparently in stock.

If this stuff works I'll be happy as $2500 in cpus are involved. Make sure you get something new.
