Corsair XTM50 High Performance Thermal Compound Paste | Ultra-Low Thermal Impedance CPU/GPU | 5 Grams | w/applicator for Desktop

So I noticed my laptop was getting a bit of thermal throttle after the first year of use, and despite the lack real guidance on this particular model as to how exactly to resolve this (and no real breakdown/application guide for it... anywhere...), I took a leap of faith and grabbed this stuff. To put it bluntly, since I was NOT using this on a desktop and therefore could not use the template, I can concur with some other reviewers; It does NOT spread well (I wound up throwing caution to the wind, using a plastic knife edge to simply blot it down, and then spread it evenly as best I could). It is a bit... I don't know, different? I know it's strictly to close the air gaps between heat sinks and whatever they touch, but I found it incredibly fickle specifically on the VRM's in my machine (I'm guessing the type of ferrite they use for ASUS machines and THIS paste just... Well... Don't work together well...?). On the flip side, I used about one notch of the paste for the entire job; the OEM paste was a hot mess, and wound up breaking down at some point, making a huge toothpick level job to remove all of it from the machine. That being said, I can definitely tell the big difference it made in how NOT warm the laptop is. I can't say it "cools" any better, it is a laptop, after all, but, it definitely isn't thermal throttling, the fan curves are more well behaved, and ultimately, everything does in fact run better as a result. So I guess that's a win in my book, to be fair! We'll check it in six months, since the entire machine has to come apart (or sooner, if I start to notice misbehavior again) and a re paste has to happen in order for that to happen (I'd rather not, but no thanks to this paste). May use it on my desktop and see how it goes!

Exceeded my expectations. This paste effectively reduces temperatures by promoting heat transfer. The kit comes with a syringe and precision applicator. The consistency of the paste was just right and easy to apply. The paste has long life so you won’t need to worry about replacing this paste frequently. Overall this paste is reliable and efficient and certainly budget friendly. I would highly recommend!

I got this for an old computer and working on some old electronics. A lot of them would have fans but they didn't have thermal paste per se so it's nice that they do now. This is probably a bit overkill, but that's why I like it. The tube was relatively easy to use and it didn't cost an arm and a leg. So it gets five stars

It’s a great product one of the best heat transfer rate on the market, very easy to use, comes with a pre cut sheet for professional even spread on your cpu or gpu core. I personally feel it’s extra expensive because it comes with these Unnecessary accessories. but it’s there to boost your confidence and prevent you from over applying the paste, it’s excellent for beginners.

This is good at what is meant to do. Cools my CPU well. Word of warning though. After about a week of use, I upgraded my mother board and when I tried pulling my cooler of the old mother board, the CPU came with it! This stuff is very sticky! I think it could have came off easy if i twisted a few times to break the bond though not sure I had the room with the memory in the way of the cooler. Luckily the CPU and motherboard were not damaged when this happened.

Boot up the desktop and get to gaming or work or figure out why my LEDs aren’t working. I have Corsair Led strips and none of them are lighting up. It’s hooked up properly, but maybe the strips are bad. 4 of them though. Otherwise Icue app is nice. Fans and rgb work fine, my computer doesn’t always boot up to my last used preference of lighting. Only takes a few moments to change, but feels unnecessary. I’ve had cheaper straight forward simpler options, but I’m using all QL Rgb fans, so the end result is beautiful. I personally have some tinkering to do and will be reading. For me though the strips are pointless until I figure it out.

Easy to use, good price, top brand product and keeps CPU temperature good. Totally satisfied. Tip: discard a little of the paste before applying it to the CPU or GPU.

Great my CPU performs like new now. Also it bring a great spreading tool.

Muito bom

très bon produit que je recommande.....

Well, yes I guess i have to say that I am a Corsair fan boy. when you spend the money on GREAT products you may as well spend a little extra for pruducts that was made for the devices. Corsair has done a great job. Thank you Corsair!!

Es de calidad, mantiene la temperatura estáble y baja, el procesador gráfico de mi oaltop se mantiene a menos de 55°c cuando corre programas comunes y cuando corre juegos llega a 65°c, supero mis expectativas

Gut verpackt in einer kompakten Box im Inneren gibt es Dokumentation Marken Blade und sogar Schablonen für AMD und Intel
