K5 PRO Viscous Thermal Paste for Thermal pad Replacement 60g 3X20g Pack (iPhone, Apple iMac, Sony PS4 & PS3, Xbox, Acer Aspire etc)

I used this to repaste all of the VRMs on my laptop while I was cleaning it out. It's a few years old and the thermal paste they used was hard as a rock.This kept the temps down much better, if you're careful with this stuff, you will not make a mess. I did not get any on my hands at all, and didn't get it anywhere but where it needed to be.It does absolutely just come with a single colored popsicle stick though, so have fun with that. Works great and comes with a lot for use on anything from old consoles to routers or whatever really!Do NOT expect it to replace paste on high end gpus! It will most certainly not match the heat transfer of high end paste used on graphics cards VRMs and such. Its not great at filling gaps. My laptop has a heatsink that minimizes gaps on all components so this worked perfectly. I would not use this directly on a cpu or gpu as its worse conductively than regular paste, but its great for anything else that leaves heat as it is not entirely a liquid and is easy to apply and stays in shape until you press down on it.

I bought this product to replace the thermal pads on a water block for an RX 6800 XT. I had never replaced pads and wasn't sure about the proper thicknesses so when I was researching them I saw this product read the reviews and thought I'd give it a try and I'm very glad I did. It dropped my temperatures by about 10 degrees celsius across the board. I gaind 200+ points in heaven benchmark and now after hours of gaming it's running at 55-60c and keeping the core clock up above 2750mhz at all times. I'd definitely recommend it to anyone who wants or needs to take apart their gpu in place of thermal pads

Bought this product because I liked the idea of cooling VRMs and VRAMs better, ended up using it on a laptop CPU memory modules and GPU memory modules, as well as on my desktops (Maximus XIII) m/b VRM modules.It DOES make a mess, but it's manageable... HOWEVER...Couple days after I installed this, I took the laptop apart. Having seen decent temps under load (43-48 deg) I saw that the goo on the memory modules had small circular holes where the goo used to be, MEANING, This stuff creates oxygen when it gets up to temperature...MEANING, it creates air pockets on the modules it's meant to connect to the heatsinks... SO, I will not be using this product again...It was a good idea, but the chemical make-up of this product needs further development, OR, maybe this is a knock-off, like so many products on Amazon... Chime in, if you will.

This is not for the CPU or GPU die. This is for all those other components that get warm, such as memory chips, small coils and whatnot. I used this to thermally couple my gaming laptop's cooling system to the aluminum chassis. To hot for my lap now but my temps dropped by about 8-10 degrees. I'm quite happy with the performance and I still have quite a bit left over.

good so far

it really brings down the temperature compared to the old thermal pads.

Repasted my Strix 3090 OC and replaced thermal pads on the memory and the VRMs. It was tedious to apply this stuff, but it works WELL. Memory is still a bit hot, but no longer overheating, and the GPU now maxes out about 13°C lower than before.

Applied more than enough on all the right spots, overflowing in some areas. thermal performance was still garbage. practically ruined my 3090, will take hours to clean. wasted 20$ of premium thermal paste I used for my gpu, since I had to reapply it a few times. use thermal pads or something, anything other than this brand. the formula is probably garbage now compared to any good reviews of it.
