Prolimatech PRO-PK1-5G PK-1 Thermal Compound - 5 Gram

Pros: Wow. That's all I can say about this product. Dropped my temps over 10C compared to the XSPC paste that came with my intel WC kit.

Cons: None. I love this stuff.

Pros: For an average user, this is essentially a lifetime supply of compound. I used it to re-do my Mac laptop and may have used perhaps 2 to 5% of the tube. It seems to be working fine and it's nice that this is not electrically conductive since the Mac has some exposed resistors on top of the chips. Has a nice cap to keep it from drying out.

Cons: The only con is the same as the pro - this is way more compound than an average user will ever use.

Pros: I bought this to go on my new build and I can say beyond a shadow of a doubt this beats artic silver hands down no contest. It works so well I went through and changed the thermal compound on all of my other computers. I am experiencing about a 10-15 drop in thermal temps on the cpu which is amazing that thermal compound can make that big of a difference. With my h80 and this stuff my fx8350 idles at 13-14c

Cons: None I can find

Other Thoughts: I don't know why it took me so long to hear about this stuff

Pros: Works well as a replacement for most any other thermal compound I've tried, with noticeably lower temps. Seems to really shine when used with a water cooling block such as the Corsair H90. Price is another big plus, as the competitors that come anywhere close are two to three times more expensive, for less amount of product

Cons: None I have found thus far.

Pros: Best paste you can buy, and it also comes in a large amount.

Cons: Nothing.

Other Thoughts: They need a better container box. Thing was smash when i got it in mail. Box was so flimsy was like paper.

Pros: Non toxic. Soap and water cleanup, easy to work with. Goes a long way. Value. It's ok. Used on N. Bridge because a lot of small chips and liked the properties of this compound for area's specific. On my cpu I want something a little heavier duty. Not saying this is bad just saying depending on the area. This is nice and has It's location uses. Love the way it cleans up.. Very user friendly..

Cons: Doesn't have the thick constancy of some of the other brands I'm currently experimenting with.. The thicker types that most people complain about I like!! Grease, It thins out when hotter.. Having good luck with antec nano diamond 7 and Tuniq TX-2. Doesn't seem to drop temps as well.. Thinner...

Other Thoughts: Gleam a lot of info. from here.

Pros: This stuff is great. It spreads well, temps are excellent, and, most importantly, you get A LOT of it for how much you pay for. I've used Arctic Silver 5, MX-2, IC7 Diamond, and PK-1 has definitely become my favorite.

Cons: None

Other Thoughts: Get this. 5 grams will last you for a long time.

Pros: Very easy to deal with. It drops and keeps heat away consistently. No curing time. The best I ve tested for IHS to HSF for cooling application. It beats artic 5 hands down.

Cons: Absolutely none

Other Thoughts: Delidded 3770 k I am using Liquid metal pro for DIE to IHS . Tried liquid for IHS to HSF 2 to 5 Celcius hotter than PK1 . Now my Ivy with H-100 in a small prodigy Bitfenix .case liquid pro inside the chip and PK1 outside to HSF does not go past 65celsius on a 36 hour run Prime small ffts . All cores within 2 to 3 Celsius . One more thing To those who say Artic Silver is electrically conductive. Learn this fact it is not . I actually had some spilled on my motherboard before , guess what no frying. MB so get your facts straight before giving wrong info. Liquid metal is conductive electrically.

Pros: -Better than "Silver"
-Easy to apply
-Huge tube

Cons: -Hard to find out that this was actually better than "Silver". Newegg's fault in my opinion. No big deal...

Other Thoughts: I would highly recommend this brand and product for thermal pastes. "Silver" is great too, but Prolimatech's PRO-PK1 thermal compound consistently performs a bit better in the benchmarks. Do your research, just about any high end brand performs within 2 degrees Celsius of the other... (even Mayonaise, the food, performs pretty well)... but if you want something that's arguably the very best for no additional cost, go with this product.

Pros: Inexpensive, easy to use, 5g is a lot

Cons: none

Other Thoughts: Probably the best stuff there is, routinely tests at the top of benchmark reviews. Easy to apply and clean and cost per gram is reasonable. Probably enough for about 40 cpus.
