I removed the heat sink when disassembling and checking for loose connections, and used this for reinstalling the heat sink.

Recently used it to bond a large heat sink for a Parallella-16 Desktop I feel confident using it

I bought this because the thermal paste that came with my heat sink was garbage and this worked great my cpu is running real cool now.

Replaced my heat sink using this product, and it actually lowered my CPU temperature by almost 10

I reassembled the laptop with some heat sink compound I had on hand and noticed my fan seemed to run louder and longer

Works as expected for lap top heat sink.

Used this instead of the compound that came with the heat sink.

That's still high (likely need a better heat sink or to improve airflow

...not much to say, but was able to use this to install CPU heat-sink.

Used on heat sink and it works.

I bought this since I had purchased a new heat sink

This is a remarkable solution for any device that uses a copper or Aluminum heat sink

On an older 4-core Dell model, I remounted the heat sink using this paste and got a 12 degree drop over the stock paste.

This along with my new heat sink keeps my CPU nice and cool!

It was easy to apply and "spread" on the heat sink surface, and the end result was my CPU temps dropped by 15 degrees F at idle, and 30 F under heavy load

There are many different types of thermal paste productsMost of the Arctic line is focused upon computer heat sink installation

I use the recommended pea size bead on cpu center and mount the heat sink which spreads a consistent smooth layer while tightening

i put it to replace the old AS 5 goop that had been down between the heat sink and cpu that kept a 38-41° normal running temps

I've been putting off replacing cleaning up the heat sink and radiator because I don't feel comfortable cracking open a laptop.

That's still high (likely need a better heat sink or to improve airflow

Did not experience better thermal conductivity compared to other compounds but the application was some custom joining of 2 heat sinks, not CPUs.

Arctic Silver 5 is tacky and rather thick which is well suited to heat sinks which have a lot of pressure from the screws holding it on.

So long story short unless your gonna spend at least a hundred dollars on a FANTASTIC heat sink don't waste your money or spark your OCD over cpu temps, its not worth it.

so I cleaned my heat sink and Cpu and reapplied maybe 6 or 7 times in different ways

so far, the only difference is mx-4 , and the vagaries of direct tubes in the heat sink spaces and gaps that need more or less goo depending on heat sink and grease and who is giving instructions

Great for when you are replacing processors or items that have a heat sink.

One site on the internet recommended removing the heat sink fins from the processor chip, cleaning the surfaces between the two, then resting the with new thermal compound.

so I cleaned my heat sink and Cpu and reapplied maybe 6 or 7 times in different ways

The removal, cleaning, and re-seating of the heat sinks was the hardest part.

Perfect thermal paste for a heat sink.

This paste is just not as good as AS5

Works as it's suppose to

Works as it says

Bought a 4g syringe a while back and it lasted through 2 AM3+ applications, a reapplication on a 750 Ti as well as on other gpus that needed thermal paste redone

Works as it should for a good price.

Works as it should.

It worked as it was supposed to.

It seems to cool just as well as AS-5, but not having to worry about the paste squeezing out and touching sensitive components is a major relief

I purchased this to use on some older PCs and hardware, as well as

I have to say it certainly worked as my PC is no longer overheating--and I'm pretty confident about that since it has been consistently fine for about a year now.

Ordered this, works as it should and got my cpu temps back down to normal.

Works as it should with a good price!

K very cool with my Corsair H110i cooler
