Maxtor CTG10 Thermal Compound Paste Heat Sink for IC/Processor/CPU/GPU/All Coolers, 14.5W/m.k Carbon Based High Performance, Thermal Interface Material (CTG10-2G)

works amzing with 9800x3D and Tryx panorama 360M AIO. Temps stay around 35c idle and havnet gone above 55c while gaming.

The only complaint I could have is the viscosity, as the paste is a little runnier than others I've used. Other than that, I don't really have any complaints about this thermal paste. I purchased it for an older project I have as the ratings seem to be appropriate. Before application, I had an old Macbook of mine running about 70C on idle and hit the 90s on load. After a good cleaning and application of the paste, the Macbook now idles around 50-55C and I think hit high 60s to 70C on one occasion. Needless to say, it is working very well for me and I would have no issues recommending this product.

good quality product, works great, good brand

Got this as I ran out of thermal paste while re-pasting an older video card. It performs well and is easy to apply. I would say its on par with Arctic Cooling MX-4 and about just as thick while applying. It costs only $10 and you get a 2 gram tube, not too shabby.

This thermal compound paste is top-tier. I used it for my CPU, and the temperature drop was immediate and significant. The 14.5W/m.k rating is no joke; it provides excellent heat transfer. The application was easy, and the performance has been absolutely amazing. A great product for anyone building or upgrading their PC.

The consistency of this made it an awful experience! It had so little liquidity it wouldn't spread at all, and it didn't stick, it was very thick, dry and tacky and just kept clumping up and peeling off like solid clay. It took three attempts getting used to the exact firm pressure and care it took to do even one swipe, it was not easy to use. The first two passes just gummed up in a messy lump and had to be given up on. The third pass wasn't perfectly even... but I'd spent over fifteen minutes trying and was frustrated enough to call it good-enough. The cooling was just standard, didn't do well, not really any better than the dried out and mostly crumbled away OEM paste I had intended to replace. I'm not bothering to post temperature comparison screenshots here because there was no real difference to compare. Every other cooling paste I've used had at least *some* smoothness that actually made it spreadable... this was just too dry, like using modeling clay, it was gummy and tacky and just wouldn't stick or spread at all. Not recommended.

I'm not a power PC user or builder, though I've built my own PCs for over 25 years now. Thermal paste is generally one of those things that I just throw in the shopping cart when I'm checking out without thinking about brand or quality. Needless to say, I was surprised at this option! It includes not only the paste itself, but a spatula and brush to ensure an even coating - no more squirting on a couple drops and then hoping it covers the entire contact surface when it's squished down. It's easy to apply, and thick enough to not run all over or drip. The performance is great, too - I haven't seen my CPU temperature this low. I can't testify to how long it holds up, but at $10/tube, I'd say this is a great value and definitely worth trying out.

To me, this is a good standard thermal paste. I just rebuilt my computer and this thermal paste is very similar to others I have used in the past. I didn't see much difference on temperature, but maybe a degree or two... though fresh thermal paste usually drops the temp for awhile. This did come with the little spatula for spreading it, which is nice they included that tool. Other than that, price is on par/about what you might expect to pay for a decent quality thermal paste.

Sehr gute Paste, bei mir ist die Temperatur des 9800X3D um 5°C gesunken gegenüber der einer alten guten. Daher eine klare Empfehlung.

Ich hatte einen AMD Ryzen 5 7600 auf den ein beQuiet-Kühlkörper montiert werden sollte. Die Paste ist derart zäh / hochviskos, dass ich sie weder mit dem beigelegten Pinsel noch mit dem beigelegten Spatel gleichmäßig verteilen konnte. Das ging selbst dann nicht, nachdem ich die Oberfläche des Kühlkörpers auf ca. 60°C erhitzte und versuchte, dann Paste aufzubringen. Denn die Paste haftet nicht auf der Oberfläche, obwohl ich die Oberfläche extrem mit Alkohol gereinigt hatte. Hat man etwas aufgebracht und versucht es zu verstreichen, hebt sich die Paste gleich wieder vom Blech und haftet viel lieber wieder am Pinsel oder an der Spatel. Schade: Teuer und unbrauchbar.

Schnelle Lieferung aus den USA in 7 Tagen. Im Allgemeinen entspricht das Produkt der Beschreibung. Das Kit enthält einen Spatel zum Auftragen von Wärmeleitpaste und einen Pinsel, mit dem sich Schmutz bequem vom Motherboard entfernen lässt. Der Wert von 14,5 W/m.k ist kaum erreichbar und wird überschätzt. Wärmeleitpaste ist meiner Meinung nach sehr viskos und schwer aufzutragen. Beim Auftragen auf den Prozessor musste ich einen Haartrockner verwenden. Die Prozessortemperatur betrug etwa 39–40 °C (mit der im Kühler enthaltenen Wärmeleitpaste Thermalright TF7). Nach dem Austausch der Wärmeleitpaste durch Maxtor CTG10 sank die Leerlauftemperatur des Prozessors um ein paar Grad auf 37 °C. Ein einfacher RAM-Test mit Testmem5 übertaktet den Prozessor auf eine Frequenz von 5225 MHz, die Prozessortemperatur erreicht 50–55 °C, der Prozessorverbrauch beträgt laut HWiNFO64-Programm 67–76 Watt. Alle Tests wurden bei Raumtemperatur ohne Computergehäuse durchgeführt.
