Review on 🌑️ Cooler Master HTK-002-U1 High Performance Thermal Paste by Hco Cortes

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Works best in Internals

I use this thermal compound on an i9-9900k with a Corsair AIO 240mm cooler. My first attempt with a different thermal paste was disappointing. So I decided to give MasterGel Maker a try as the reviews about it were decent. The applicator is interesting and the instructions say to apply it to the CPU in streaks like a sealant. It seemed like you were using a lot of compound compared to the traditional amount of rice grains / small pea sized amounts, but that's what I did. I made three strips on the CPU and used a plastic spatula to spread them out to completely cover the CPU. It looked like too much thermal paste. It's also very thick (again, like a sealant). However, I connected the CPU cooler and turned on the machine. In fact, the results were very, very good. The idle temperature dropped by a few degrees and the load temperature significantly. I'm slightly overclocked (5.0 GHz on all cores), and with a typical gaming load, the temperature never exceeds 70 degrees and when idle it's around 27-29 degrees. At full load, the temperature climbs to the mid 80s, but I don't experience any throttling. This stuff works fine, better than MX4, AS5 or TF8. IMHO on the same level as Cryonaut.

Pros
  • Absolutely amazing!
Cons
  • Not bad, but...
