09/01/2016
This review is from: GELID Solutions GC-Extreme Thermal Compound
Pros:
Although the tube is unnecessarily large, there is a fair amount
Easy to apply with provided spreading tool
Better heat transfer than the competition according to online benchmarks/reviews
Cons:
Could provide more paste in the tube
Packaging includes no instructions for first time users
Overall Review:
I bought this because it's supposed to have the best performance of any of the non-exotic TIMs. Mostly I'm using this to replace TIM during upgrades or replacing the TIM on decade old hardware. It works well and is priced fairly for what you get. I have not tested it in any overclocking/high heat scenarios so I can't confirm it's performance in that respect, but it does perform better than thermal compound found on stock coolers from Intel. There is a high performance Zen or Kaby Lake build in the not so distance future I'll be using this in, so I'll be able to better assess it's value in an overclocking scenario then.
