As every decent test seems to confirm, Gelid Extreme is the best thermal compound in its class. Up against Arctic's own excellent MX-4, and apparently having the same thermal conductivity at 8.5 W/(m*K), it offers marginally better performance by my measurement, albeit at a slightly higher cost. Load temps were reduced on my system from 56C to 53C, even after upgrading to a to a better/hotter processor. The common advice coming from various discussion forums is to warm the syringe before using, so I did and found it very easy to apply as a result. There's enough for 3-4 applications if you use it properly, that's more than plenty for the lifetimes of most CPUs.

So i have used arctic MX4 for years and i thought i would give this a try as i heard it has better heat transfer as well as better temps.... I get the same temps as the Arctic MX4 paste and the thermal grizzly costs £3 to £10 more (depending where you get it) for a gram which is less than Arctic MX4 tubes for £5 to £8 (depending where you get it). End result I cant really recommend this product due to the price and the amount you get when a competitor has practically the same product and you get more of that product for less money.

Great stuff icy cool performance best around. Forget Arctic silver 5 extortionate priced old paste this is like swapping a penny for a pound. Rated at 8.5 kwm so high end heat transfer and easy to apply. Only thing thats close is the new thermal Grizzly or Noctua NT H1,and theres very little in it between them. All together an Excellent choice.

Used this product to rescue the GPU on a 2008 iMac. The product has an excellent thermal conductivity specification, and coupled with its low electrical conductivity this was clearly the right product to use for this application. The result: the iMac is now working again fine, and the GPU does not overheat. One small observation: the 1Gram size was only just enough for the GPU and the four memory chips surrounding it. A 1.5 Gram pack size would have been better.

This paste made both my high end gaming laptops overheat. Both had really bad spikes in the temperature and would not hold a steady idel. Also they would get hot to the point where it would affecting the gaming performance ie crashes and rendering issues. I now use arctic silver 5 which works really well and gives me a steady idel plus no rendering issues or heat.
