Great Paste

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 28, 2022

Note that there are 3 variations of paste available, STC 7(4grams), STC 8(1.5grams) and STC 9 (4grams). The STC 8 is a lot smaller tube.

Presumably the STC 9 has the best thermal conductivity at 9.1 W/m-k. In theory people should be buying that for the small price difference and larger quantity.

Overall, no complaints about this thermal paste, large quantity, easy to spread, seems to transfer heat. The STC 9 also comes with a spreader. Ingredients in the STC 9 are Silicone Oil, Alumina, Aluminum, Zinc Oxide. As far as I can tell this looks similar to the Tech Ingredients DIY thermal paste that gets rave reviews online. Find Tech Ingredients “Make our Best Thermal Paste…” video on YouTube and it has a formula link in the description. Then search for other reviews and videos online about that paste, if interested.

No reason not to but the STC 9 paste. Can’t go wrong.

For being the cheapest thermal paste on Amazon that can be delivered with prime, it’s an amazing product. CPU temps went from 160F to 100F.

Very good for the price

My Ryzen 5 non-overclocked 2600 was hovering at 50c plus idle. The Ryzen 5 2600 has a rating of 65w tdp, so I don't understand why it runs so hot. I bought this thermal paste along with a 30 dollars cpu cooler. Now my cpu temp is around 40c idle and 60c gaming. I also used it on another computer, and that one dropped around 6c idle.

Perfect for PS3 chipset

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 25, 2022

Noticed I was having over heating issues with my PS3 console, so I upgraded the fan and found I needed to replace the thermal paste on the chipset as well. This was the perfect amount, used almost the whole thing, it's actually a really small tube of thermal paste but just the right amount I needed. We'll see how it goes.

(UPDATE) After install of thermal paste this works great, no more over heating issues what so ever, would recommend.
