Gelid Solutions GC-Extreme 3.5g with Tooling - Thermal Conductive Paste for Heatsink | um Thermal Conductivity | Easy Application | Not Corrosive.

I used GC extreme because it was recommend to me and I'm thankful that i did. I used to hit TJ-Max on both my CPU and GPU as soon as i started playing RDR2 on my laptop. (With AC on at 25/26 degrees)I finally changed it's stock thermal paste after 3 months of use. Even though i don't play much, my stock thermal paste was almost dried out on GPU and CPU.Pros-1. Very reasonably priced.2. Works flawlessly3. Non-Conductive4. Much much better than stock thermal paste or the generic thermal paste these companies apply to our laptop in the name of "service".5. Heavy games like RDR2 are showing temps under 85 degree Celsius without undervolting/disabling turbo boost, which was not the case for me previously on the stock thermal paste. Idle temp was around 30-40. I'm personally very satisfied. (with AC on at around 26 degree Celsius)Neutral-1. Bit difficult to apply but good thermal pastes are generally thick and they are not easy to apply. I have also not done it before so, Kinda new experience for me.ConsNone as of day 1.Things to note-1. This is a day one review. Will edit it in the future as the need arises.2. If you want to have a rough idea about the temps (like really rough) use Hwinfo app and monitor idle/gaming temps. If you Want a better idea run Antutu, 3Dmark and other benchmark tests before and after applying this thermal paste.If someone is not willing to change the thermal paste themselves (which is fine) ask your laptop service guy to apply this thermal paste (buy it yourself), if the service guy is hesitant tell him that this is non-Conductive thermal paste (it won't damage the motherboard even if some of it spills on to the motherboard).

I have just used this thermal paste on my Acer 5 laptop's cpu (i5 8th gen) and gpu (nvidia mx250). The laptop is almost 4 years old and never been repasted. I did not do a proper long running benchmark comparison, but I ran a quick MSI Kombustor and Geekbench 6 benchmark before and after repasting. Here is my result:MSI Kombustor - before: 377 (6 FPS), after: 421 (7 FPS)GeekBench 6 GPU- before: 9637, after: 10428GeekBench 6 CPU (single/multi) - before: 572/1809, after: 611/2008More importantly, the temperature rise was less dramatic after repasting. Previously the GPU temp shot up to 75 degree C immediately. Now it is taking about a minute to do so. Though not a big difference, there definitely is an improvement.I will update my rating after longer use.

After looking on reweiws on many thermal compound i decided to go with this one and im very satisfied with the product. I have an i5-4460 with stock cooler which is pretty old chip and dont produce much heat at all but my system was still running slightly hot ,even in winters it was going above 70°C. I stress tested my chip on cinebench with stock/generic compound for around 10 minutes with my room Temp. at around 11°C and it went to max temperature of 76°C which is not much but i wanted to clean my pc so i had to change thermal paste anyways, after cleaning my pc and applying Gelid-GE extreme i ran cinebench again and to my surprise it never went above 55°C with same room Temp. which was not expected, I expected it to drop by 5-10°C but it went down by a whopping 21°C, although some of it might be due to the reason that i completely stipped my pc and cleaned it thoroughly. Another thing to keep in concideration is that i also changes the configuration of my fan from push to pull as i only have one fan in my setup which could have also affected a bit but still gelid gave me very impressive results and it is also cheaper than many other thermal compounds, so for me its a win and i will reccomend it.

Ordered this on 4th Jan, received in two days. Thanks to superfast Amazon.This paste is a bit tricky to spread, but once you spread it evenly, it gets the job done. What makes it different than Kraunaut is that, it does not pump out (dry out at higher temps/).I repasted my laptop after 3 years and it reduced temps by atleast 15C. My laptop is ROG G531GT with i5.It does not thermal throttle anymore. You can close your eyes and go for this paste. While you are repasting, make sure to clean the fans as well! Dust is an enemy and proper dust removal means quiter and cooler performance.

This is great for laptops. It has high viscosity. And it comes in good quantity for the price compared to other options.Earlier i got my paste replaced at a repair center and they used cryofuze violet. Within three months my laptop was severely throttling and i saw many frame drops even after reducing quality settings. Read a lot of reviews and suggestions about high performance paste for laptops and how they are not suitable, about pump out effect, dry out etc. This has lower conductivity at around 7 while violet has over 12. However, that doesn't matter when the paste just spills over. This is much more viscous (and harder to apply and spread but manageable). After application I have noticed significant temperature drop in idle. Although my laptop still throttles under load, that's because of the bad cooling design of asus TUF a15 (2020).
