With this product and the Thermaltake Massive23 LX laptop cooler, I was able to reduce the temperature of the GPU by about 15-17 degrees Celsius. Wonderful! Before purchasing these two products, I had an issue with overheating/throttling in games. This issue has now been resolved. The company that does this has good instructions on their website. read them. I used the credit card method and it was pretty easy to apply to both CPU and GPU. I highly recommend this product. In summary, I bought this product instead of the Arctic Silver 5 mainly because it was a bit cheaper. Also, the company claims that Alumina is easier to apply and works well for the system I have.
