ThermalrightTFX 2g Thermal Paste,The High Performance Thermal Grease for Cooling All Processors, Heat Sink Paste High Durability 14.3W/m. Graphics Cards and Heat Sinks in Computers and Consoles

This stuff is so hard to put on. I used the spreader it came with to apply it and it would lift off the cpu and onto the spreader, so it wouldn't stay on the cpu. I recommend using a head gun or something to make it easier to spread. In the end, I just kept spreading it for a long time until I got it to stay on the cpu. I give it 5 stars because it seems to work really good. My CPU is an AMD 9800x3d which runs kind of hot, but with this thermal paste and my water cooler, it stays in the low 30s celcius even under heavy loads. It seems to be doing its job, and I made sure to do research before buying this and tests showed that this stuff is very good for keeping your cpu temperature low.

Extremely thick, but that is a desired trait when repasting a GPU to avoid migration of the paste off the die. Core temps dropped about 22C on my EVGA 3080Ti XC3 in conjunction with a repad kit.Try putting it in an airtight plastic bag and submerging in hot water for 30 minutes or so before trying to apply for best results.

I use Noctua NT-H2 or Arctic mx6 for cpus....but NOTHING compares to this thermalright tpx for gpu repasting. Nothing. 13 years of building and this has been the best I have ever used for a graphics card. Has almost NO pump out and temps dropped 9c from the factory garbage

0 I'm all about keeping my CPU and GPU cool and this thermal paste does the right job now fair warning to anyone interested in using this thermal paste it's a thick boy Make sure that you spread it either using the x method or a light shed on the unit itself because it will expand but just like every thermal paste it will dry out in the future so make sure if you buy one pack keep an extra one handy for when you have to reapply it The good thing about this thermal paste is that it does his job very well it conducts heat properly into the heat sink making sure that your devices stay cool while the room that you're in turns into a heater.

I have a collection of pastes: Arctic MX-4, MX-6, Noctua NT-H2, Thermalright TF7.I had really good luck with TF7, giving me a slight down-tick in temps (maybe 1°C at load), so I figured I'd try TFX.Again, similar results. Maybe another 1°C decrease. Nothing groundbreaking.Thermalright's are definitely thicker and harder to spread. TFX even more than TF7. TFX kind of drags the paste making it hard to move around. May be best to just put down the pea sized glob and let the heatsink spread it, but I like to be sure its covered.For the price I'd probably go with TF-7 in the future. They're all good enough, just minor differences.TF-7 is a good middle ground. Maybe not as efficient but easier to spread and work with.

This is an ideal paste for GPU repasting, but it’s very difficult to work with. The paste is indeed very pasty, and is near impossible to spread with the spatula provided. In terms of temperatures, it does its job.

Thermal paste quality needs two consideration: how well it dissipates heat and how long it’ll last until it experiences pump out.If you can get the best of both worlds, you’ve found the absolute best thermal paste. The tfx doesn’t dissipate heat as well as my Noctua NT-H2 or the MX5. Expect the thermals to be 1-3c lower based on workload.Where does this paste shines? Durability!!! It’s a rather thick paste to work with so best technique is to warm it up by putting it inside a ziplock bag, zip it up and submerge it into hot water for 5-10min to soften it up. It’s still pretty thick but MUCH easier to work with.Since I installed it on my cpu and gpu, I’ve got no issues with them working for 1 week and the performance drops like I did with thinner pastes. I don’t need to worry about it oozing out between the two contact surfaces (pump out).Do I recommend this paste? Depends!!!If you want the absolute best in thermal conductivity, look at Liquid Metal. If you want easy to apply, this isn’t it. If you want to set it and forget it for over a year, this is the paste to go.

First of all, it is not a paste, it is a putty, please be patient applying it. Temp wise it is better than MX-4 by 6 dgrees C during the full load (5950x with PBO 200 PPT), couple degrees during idle. So, you need less rpm from your CPU fans to keep the same temps. CBR24 improved by 1%, 1603 -> 1618. Way less expensive and more effective than another benchmark bear putty.The logetivity is not clear, I will update in one year.Summary:1. Effective2. "Affordable"Cons:1. Need to develop the application skill
