What customers are saying

The thermal paste provides good thermal conductivity and helps keep components cool, even under heavy loads. It is easy to apply with a syringe-style applicator for precise and mess-free installation. While not the absolute best, it offers excellent value and performance for the price, with many users reporting significant temperature drops after replacing the stock thermal paste. The thermal paste delivers consistent cooling results and long-lasting reliability.

    Received used tube

    Verified BuyerReviewed by - May 7, 2020

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had ordered this along side my purchase of a ryzen 7 cpu, though unfortunately, the paste was delayed and I had to change the order list to have the paste shipped directly to my house instead of picking it up in store because it would arrive sooner. How ever, upon receiving the product, I discovered that the product packaging was already open, and about a 1/5th of the tube had already been squeezed out. The tape on the shipping box was undamaged and not reapplied, so it means that either someone used the product I had ordered before shipping, or it was a used and returned product that was then shipped to me as "new". I'm rating 3 star because I can still use it, not very much paste is required for what I need it for, But it's disappointing that a used product was sent to me when I was purchasing an item as new.

    Fantastic stuff

    Verified BuyerReviewed by - March 8, 2020

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I used this to Repair a mid 2010 iMac that had been having video issues with random pixelated blocks that got worse over a two or three month period. I pulled the video card, cleaned the old paste off (which was 100% dried out) and replaced with this and wow what a difference. My video issues are a thing of the past and I can hold off another year or two before replacing this unit.

    Great Fill Indicator - Works as Intended

    Verified BuyerReviewed by - May 30, 2025

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Not much to say about thermal paste. It's cheap and works as intended. It has a nice fill indicator on the back that lets you know how much you have left. I've gotten about 5 CPU upgrades out of this which is more than most people need. If you are better about the amount used than me, you can probably get more than that.

    Does its job

    Verified BuyerReviewed by - June 16, 2021

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The paste seems to be doing its job pretty well; better than the standard pastes that came in the box of my cooler. Still, it’s not the highest tier thermal compound and if your system is running at its higher temperature limits going for the higher tier corsair or the arctic silver might be worth it.

    A little dab will do ya!

    Verified BuyerReviewed by - February 3, 2023

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've purchased this product before and have never had any issues with it. Squirt out a dab, that will do you right. Spread it around how you see fit and apply the heatsink. Even after cooking for a couple of years on an overclocked CPU, the paste was still smooth and silky like the day I put it on.

    Corsair thermal paste 2021

    Verified BuyerReviewed by - December 31, 2021

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Got this thermal paste at my local Best Buy store for good value, and it improved my MacBook’s cooling by A LOT after 8 years use of original apple paste. I’d recommend this to anyone who wants to replace their computer’s thermal paste after a long time of using old/worn out factory paste.

    Best of the best!

    Verified BuyerReviewed by - November 13, 2021

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As always, Corsair delivered an amazing product. When changing a processor I never use the factory paste. I always buy the tube of the good stuff. Definitely purchase if installing a new processor and or cooler. Worked fantastic on my overclocked Ryzen 7 5800x and MSI 240mm AIO.

    nice paste

    Verified BuyerReviewed by - December 24, 2019

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've had the paste for about 24 hours. It's had some ups and downs, but mostly up. Starting with the good, the paste greatly simplified my cabling. I've long been a stickler for very clean cable management. Before using the Commander, I had two separate Silverstone fan hubs (one for intake fans and another for exhaust), so each had a PWM cable going to the motherboard and a SATA power cable. That is to say that, in addition to the 6 cables for my 6 case fans, we had 4 extra cables (two PWM, two power). This was a necessity because on basic PWM hubs you can't set fan speeds individually. Basic hubs like that can only be set as an entire unit.

    Toasty paste

    Verified BuyerReviewed by - March 27, 2021

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I applied this cooling paste to my Ryzen 3800x processor with a Corsair AIO liquid cooler. While it did spread nicely the paste seemed thinner then the pastes I’ve used in the past. After allowing the paste to set I fired up my pc and ran benchmarks. Idle temps were between 65-75 degrees and I hit 90-95 under load. This is way too hot. I replaced the paste with Arctic silver and now I am achieving 40-50 idle and 75-80 under load which is still toasty but I feel like the paste was to blame. Did I get a bad batch of paste? Was the paste expired? Was it my fault for poor application? I don’t know. I had a bad experience with this thermal paste....
