None at time of purchase.
Why did I pick this? I was intrigued by this so I bought it. Sure, its pricier than most pastes. There is a thick plastic side and a thin plastic side. I cut the piece to size and used a sharp utility knife to pre-peal the thin plastic side and fold the corner. I wiped the die with the enclosed alcohol pad, pealed the thick plastic side, centered the pad, used the spatula to press it down and then grabbed the pre-folded edge of the thin plastic to remove. It wasnt too bad. I dont know if it works better as I have not compared it to regular thermal paste but I am satisfied that I got an appropriate amount between the CPU and the cooler.
Great overall package has everything you need. Easy to apply. I felt more confident with the coverage I was able to get with this kit than some other pastes I used on past builds. Generous amount of paste. I had enough for my project and for my son's upcoming build. Probably have plenty left over for other projects as well. Great value for the money!
saw temperature drops of 4 degrees C cools as well as regular paste with no mess easy to install
Have a great performante to heat disipate.
This thermal paste is easy to apply. Customer service was very helpful and quick. It is a great Arctic product. My CPU temp dropped almost 5˚C and the fans are much quieter.
By far the easiest to use, instructions are clear and to point on it's intended usage. Even used this on an old Motherboard and it removed 5 year old paste with no issue whatsoever. It's a great product.
-Keeps my 5800X3D well within operating temperatures while gaming -Easy to apply to the CPU, just cool it down in the fridge before trying to peel off the plastic -Great for builds intended for long-term use
No burn in time - This is the main reason why I got this
Keeps temps of both GPUs and CPUs low and enough for overclocking/best performance.
Top notch thermal conductivity and a best-in-the business applicator that makes a clean and even application simple. This is the Cadillac of thermal compounds. If you want lower temps for your CPU or GPU, don't hesitate to try this. Even the packaging is nice.
-Fast to apply -mess free -cools quickly and efficiently
- easy instructions to follow to apply the correct amount of thermal paste - higher viscosity than your typical "grey" paste - wipes really helped to clean up the old caked on mess from my last application, over 6 years ago
