Review on 💻 SYY Thermal Paste - 2 Grams CPU Paste Heatsink for Processors and Coolers, Carbon Based High Performance, 15.7W/m.k, Thermal Interface Material, CPU Thermal Paste by Ryan Whatley

I'm a PC repair and support professional, so I need to keep a supply of thermal paste on hand. I recently partially rebuilt a high performance workstation and used it on a cooler. Mixing performance is very good! It easily beats older favorites like Arctic Silver and matches or surpasses newer compounds like Thermal Grizzly and Arctic MX. While working in this shop I have also had a number of systems that due to age require thermal paste to be reapplied. Using this and some simple temperature comparisons, I found noticeably better thermal conductivity. Even compared to a graphite thermal seal, it keeps the temperature at least 3 degrees Celsius lower. In addition, it does not conduct electricity. So if you get somewhere it shouldn't be, you shouldn't have a problem with a short circuit. Seems to heal very quickly and performance has not decreased since application. You get a lot of that too. The only problem you might have is that after it's applied and cured, it gets very "sticky," for what better term. So if you need to remove the cooler afterwards, it might be more difficult than usual. You should warm up the system and take your time if you have to. All in all I recommend it. Even though it's cheap, it works very well. I used the included application instructions to see what results to expect and I was not disappointed. You can either use the "long grain rice" size in the middle of the IHS or use the tools provided to spread it out. Using tools seems to give you much faster healing times, but YMMV.
