CS LabsK5-PRO Viscous Thermal Paste for Thermal pad 20g Compatible with iPhone, Apple iMac, Sony PS4 & PS3, Xbox, Acer Aspire etc

PC specs:CPU-Ryzen 5 3600 at stock speedsGPU-MSI Evoke OC RX 5700XTStuffed into an itty-bitty Sliger Cerberus mATX caseIn an effort to quiet the fans on my GPU, I decided to replace the under-sized and poorly placed thermal pads on the VRMs and memory modules. I watched the Linus Tech Tips video for the K-5 and it seemed like a simple fix for cheap. And since the K-5 thermal compound is not electrically conductive, there wasn't much that could go wrong.I did some benchmark testing before and after removing the existing thermal pads and applying the K-5. See pictures. To maximize heat output, I ran Furmark on the GPU and prime95 on the CPU for 10 minutes and logged temps and GPU clocks to check for equal performance.As you can see, the numbers speak for themselves. Clocks appeared to be unaffected and the thermals definitely improved. That being said, this GPU is still hot as hell, and under actual gameplay loads (and depending on the game) the GPU hotspot temp (aka edge or junction temp) can still hit 100 C. This is better than the 109 C I saw before the K-5. I imagine that the K-5 being applied helps improve overall cooler performance, and thus allows the cooler to remove more heat form the GPU die itself. My next move will be to try a better thermal paste for the die, as the old tube of arctic silver I've been using for 10 years may not work as well as it used to.I forgot to take pictures of the K-5 after I applied it, but it is messy. Be sure to wear gloves and avoid getting it on anything other than the GPU. I didn't try to clean it up, but I imagine it would imagine it is not easy to get out of clothes.Overall this stuff works. If you are comfortable with taking apart a GPU (and it isn't that hard, just be sure to use the correctly sized screw driver) then this is an easy way to squeeze some better performance out of hardware if you aren't satisfied with it and can't really do anything about it now (I would think of getting a new GPU but I ain't feeding the scalpers).

Better than thermal pads for heat transfer.I have used this on 3 laptops, and everything works well and temps are better.

Wow!! Would recommend this to everyone. Very easy to apply, if manipulated carefully. Just excellent product. I have an acer nitro 5 and my computer was super slow, heating to over 80 degrees. Now the temperature settles at 60 more or less, and my computer is much more faster.

Purchased this stuff along with some PTM7950 thermal pads to repaste my laptop that was thermal throttling like crazy the last few months. After doing a cleanout and repaste with this stuff and the PTM7950, I went from an average of 91c-ish to an average of 69-70c. Let the laptop do a "burn in" period after seeing initial results as I couldn't actually believe the improvement I saw and I STILL can't believe it. This is on a 2021 RoG Zephyrus G14, where liquid metal was used on the CPU from factory which is an awful thing to use on a laptop, so could be part of the insane improvement I've seen as that kind of improvement just still doesn't make sense to me, but I don't care. I'm flabbergasted and can't recommend this stuff enough at this rate.Attached 2 images of my overall temps after a 2 hour benchmark and 6 how gaming session with no real "break" for the laptop in between. Temps are overall 15c cooler on average, up to 20c. Amazing product

Great thermal paste for repasting your computer components. Easy to use and good consistency for application. Keeps temperatures lower as it creates a nice bridge between the components.

Got this to repaste my GTX 1080 Ti alongside some PTM7950 for the actual dies. This thermal putty seems to work at least as well if not better than the original thermal pads, and I was able to build up the thickness quite easily to properly interface with the heatsinks. It’s not as easy as the videos show, and it likes to go everywhere, but it’s not too bad and this stuff seems to be non conductive.For the price I’m glad I can get many applications out of this. There’s a lot of VRMs and similar things that need putty on the 1080ti but I still have >3/4 of my tin left so it’s good value for money.

Dropped laptop RTX 4050 VRAM load temps by about 5-6 degrees vs thermal pads. Use more and spread it out.
