GELID Solutions GC-Extreme 1gr with tooling - Thermal Conductive Paste for Heatsink | Maximum Thermal Conductivity | Easy application | 8.5W/mK

I've used this to repaste a Dell G5 SE (AMD), it takes a quick google to see that this gaming laptop runs *hot* and this helps a lot with that, around 5-10 degrees difference in heat and although this isn't much the performance overhead is much improved. The clocks hit their maximums on turbo boost within the previous thermals where it would normally have throttled (before repasting it would barely get above 2.8GHZ and now hits 3.9-4.1GHZ when under load. AC Odyssey has a 5FPS average improvement on the benchmark from just repasting. The 1g should be enough to repaste a CPU and GPU (on a laptop) 3 times before you run out. I have plenty left and will use it again in 6 months to a year when it dries out (80+ Temps are not your friend). I did not use the supplied spreader tool and used a line method of applying the paste as laptop heatsinks don't apply as much pressure as desktops. I haven't removed it again yet to see how well the die was covered but will report back if I remember.

Great product but very expensive. But if you want the best, you have to pay more.

no difference at all

Laptop started getting noisy high fan speed and the odd blue screen, I have applied this thermal paste and I'm using the laptop now it quiet and faster since the temps have reduced a fair bit now. Burn in test worked no errors and I'm back on the laptop as if it was new :)

Been using Gelid for all my PC builds. if you really want top quality and more paste for your money you should choose their Extreme Performance Gelid Solutions Extreme Performance GC-3 Cutting Edge Thermal Compound 3.5g Tube

For your CPU this is a first class option, easy to apply, little risk of pump out and great thermal results. For a GPU die, however, where the paste needs to be spread thin, it’s difficult. The paste is very thick like putty and the included spatula does very little to spread it thin; I found using a finger was by far the most effective way to spread it out over the GPU die. Temps have dropped on the 7800XT though, so can’t complain.

Cooling my 4790K @4.7 constant with closed loop 3 fan water cooling. Read compound reviews and this was the best on Amazon with prime next day delivery.

I use this on my ps4 pro Work well Ps4 is much quieter

Thermal paste is of good quality for its low price. After cleaning heatsink and applying this thermal paste, my CPU & GPU temps dropped to 75-80°C on heavy gaming where as earlier it used to exceed 90°C and made my laptop lag a lot. Paste lasted 1 year before needing to be applied again. The spatula provided made it easy to apply too. Highly recommended for normal laptops & budget gaming laptops.

Pasta termica davvero efficace: nel mio caso dopo averla applicata la temperatura del chip è scesa un po' ma si è alzata di qualche grado quella della scheda madre, dei componenti che gli stanno vicino e dell'interno del PC in generale. Questo perché il dissipatore non riusciva a trasferire all'esterno il maggior calore "trasportato" dalla CPU al metallo. Dopo aver migliorato la ventilazione interna però la temperatura della CPU (rilevata con Speccy) è scesa di ben 13 gradi in totale ed anche quella di tutti gli altri componenti è scesa parecchio! Per chi come me non aveva un sistema di raffreddamento/areazione adeguato la consiglio quindi in abbinamento ad un buon dissipatore e/o ventole interne ed esterne, ed ovviamente una bella pulizia approfondita sia del chip su cui andrete ad applicare la pasta, sia delle varie ventole, radiatori e prese d'aria. Per ora l'ho usata su due CPU e una GPU e mi pare ce ne sia ancora (la siringa è coperta da un adesivo perciò non si vede quanta ne rimane). Aggiornerò la recensione dopo averla terminata. Per l'applicazione, nella maggior parte dei chip basta metterne una goccia (più o meno abbondante, dipende dalla superficie) al centro e riavvitare il dissipatore o ventola con cautela, così che sia la pressione ad espanderla su tutta l'area.

Da ich keine Wärmeleitpaste mehr hatte, habe ich mir diese hier für meine Grafikkarte besorgt. Soweit mir bekannt ist, wird diese Paste hier unter den klassischen Wärmeleitpasten nur noch von einer Fremdmarke übertroffen, die erheblich teurer ist. Die geringe Menge von einem Gramm ist mehr als ausreichend für meine Grafikkarte, da sowohl Chip als auch Kühlkörper plan sind, braucht man nur eine hauchdünne Schicht um die Oberflächenrauheit des Kühlers auszugleichen. Weniger ist hier mehr (anders als bei z.B. aktuellen Intel Prozessoren, wo man berücksichtigen muss, dass deren Deckel i.d.R. eine 'Delle' (konkav) hat). Aufgrund der festen Konsistenz lässt sie sich jedoch nur sehr schwierig in einer ganz dünnen Schicht auftragen. Leistungsmäßig hat mir der Tausch des Paste ohne Last bei Mindesdrehzahl des Lüfters eine Temperaturbesserung von ca. 2-3 °C gebracht. Bei Last habe ich wegen des temperaturgeregelten Lüfters logischerweise keine Temperaturverbesserung ansich, dafür eine leicht geringere Lüfterdrehzahl/Lautstärke, was mein eigentliches Ziel war. Wenn also Unterschiede von ein paar wenigen Grad wichtig sind und man das Optimum rausholen will, klare Kaufempfehlung. Wenn minimale Unterschiede keine Rolle spielen, dann sollte man doch besser zu einer günstigen greifen.

I saw praises all over the net on this little paste for doing wonders on laptops due to high viscosity. Value wise it really is on the low side as you pay the about the same for 1g of this vs. 4g from other brands. The stock spreader you slot on top of the syringe isn't exactly stellar since it is small and rigit, paste has more tendency to stick to spreader than the die. I applied a dollop of this on the CPU and GPU, used the stock spreader and it was just usuable enough to get an even layer. It takes a bit longer than a normal spreader. Once installed the thermals immediately improved by a huge margin. The fake MX-4 paste was making my pc thermal throlle at 20W CPU power... Idle and peak at low 90s. After repasting with GC Extreme idle only hit a idle peak of 70C. After 1 week, under load with turbo boost off I get CPU 73C/80C, GPU 69C/71C (avg/max). With turbo boost on and fully loaded I get CPU 78C/86C, GPU 66C/70C. Temp was lower just after application by 6C for CPU. It has been stable so far after 2 weeks. Tested with 24C ambience. I will try to update this review after 6 months and 1 year use. So far very impressed!

C'est du bon matos , mais ce n'est pas extraordinaire sa donne les même perfo que de la MX-4 artic (qui est moins chère) sur du AMD 5950x & 7950x
