Gelid Solutions GC-Extreme 1g - Thermal Conductive Paste for Heatsink | Maximum Thermal Conductivity | Easy Application | Not Corrosive

The media could not be loaded. So where do I begin 🤔 well first, let's look at the pics. They speak louder than words in this situation. When my custom gaming pc was built in 2019 I had idle temps in the mid 50's to low 60's. While gaming mid 70's. Well here in 2024, My pc started have major heat 🥵 🔥 spikes and just crash than shut down. As a gamer we all know that frustrating 😤 upsetting feeling all to well. I couldn't figure out what was going on. Thought I had a mobo going out, sensor issues, false reading from my software, outdated drivers. I mean, I was rocking my brain over what? What's going on with my PC? Which has never done that before. So I got on the internet like most PC owners do on Reddit. Googling everything trying to find out what this possibly is. Surely someone else has experienced the same, but much to my surprise. I couldn't find an answer. I even went as far as texting youtuber Techs to find out what could possibly be wrong with my pc, but with no response. All I kept getting on my google serched was,Make sure your fans are clean. Maybe ur fans when out, Make sure you're fans are facing the correct position for the intake and out take of your directional fans, Maybe it's your motherboard or GPU issues, check settings that you've previously done before the incident happened. Make sure your BIOS is updated. I mean,at this point you could imagine how fustrated I have become. I was so surprised there was no answers nowhere to be found to my problem. Well, I decided I'm going to tear my pc down and I'm going to re-thereal my CPU and my GPU. So with that in mind, I was on the next lookout for thermal paste. And I mean some good thermal paste. Because after all, this was my last resort. So after watching countless videos reading countless Reddit accounts on the best thermal paste out there on the market for hot temp CPU/GPUs that has a cooling agent that will cool your CPU to keep it at better temps. And I kept getting the same brand over and over again The Arctic 4. And for some reason, something told me. Don't go with that brand don't know why, but I kept looking,. so I continued to watch, Continue to read. And I found 1 video out of hundreds of videos that I have watched and found a thermal paste GC- EXTREME. And it was proven to be the best decision I made as far as my pc care. For me to have gotten such major results in the cooling side and proformance of my CPU and GPU, I was completely and utterly shocked. As you can tell in the pictures above my temperatures I was getting before I thermaled it and after I thermaled it. Even a video. And also I posted a picture of my results with the temperature only in the 40's after gaming for 2 1/2 hour run straight. So then I decided to do a major game night and I gamed for 12 hours straight and my temperatures only got to the 50s and this is no joke. This was so mind-blowing. I don't know how to feel about this one decision that changed my thought process on how vital it is to find the best thermal paste. In this vital situation popularity thermal paste has nothing to do with what is the most important. And it's only a brand name. I wanted something to actually work and achieve my expectations. Not something that was popular. Which would save you in the long run on expensive massive even in some cases, unnecessary cooling fans for your CPU. It is completely mind-blowing because ryzen as we all know runs crazy hot temperatures. And that's what I have is a full AMD pc build. So I will definitely say that if you build a pc. Or if you're just looking to redo your thermal paste, This should be your number 1 thought and anything that you do with your pc as far as pasting or you're just building PC this thermal paste will blow your mind. That is no joke. And I don't know why there is not many videos on this paste. Because this paste to me from my experience is mind blowing. I used Noctua paste In my first build and I thought that was good until I got a hold of this one. Don't get me wrong here, Noctua is amazing pc fan company which I have in my build, But this paste is amazing and I would not steer anybody wrong with a bad product. So with that being said, the pictures and videos speak louder than words. Take a look at the proof on how drastic the changes were. It's insane. If anything comes out of this review, I hope and pray that it helps someone who is looking for authentic genuine review on this product.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:I built my pc about 2.5 years ago and wanted to repasteI got the 3.5g tube. After reposting I got a 22c drop on cpu idle temp and 15c drop on gpu idle temp so yeah this stuff is great! Hopefully it lasts a few years

Works as advertised. I had a significant drop in CPU temps.

This is by far much better than Arctic Silver 5 or any other paste I've used. I remember using it for such a long time and then I decided to look up Tom's Hardware reviews over 39 Thermal pastes and I saw that this in almost all categories was always the best in the normal thermal paste category without using some of the very difficult to apply pastes. I decided to try it for my new gaming desktop which has an FX-8350 that I overclocked perfectly stable to 4.7Ghz.When the CPU is under 100% stress testing (Prime95) It will hit around 61C (140F) and when I'm gaming it usually never goes above 50C (122F) ambient temparture is never higher than 76F, granted I do use a Noctua NH-U14S which is a massive heatsink and an exceptionally good air cooler.But, the real point why I like this paste besides that it is a great performer, how long did it take this results to come about? not even 24 hours! I had noticed after stress testing here and there trying to get to 4.7Ghz that the temps stabilized not too long through the process and honestly I'm surprised.So, it's been about 5 months since I built my machine, and I thought a couple weeks ago what if I replaced the paste in some of our old desktops and even the laptops? I tried it on a an old HP slim with a pretty hot Core 2 Duo E2200 and another with an E2220, it dropped the average temps in those by about 10F! At this point it was fun to replace thermal paste! It also majorily improved my HP 8460p's performance by a good margin and got rid of overheating on games all together! My HP sports a i5-2420M and an HD 6470M.Also, a VERY important note I must add, it pretty much stops CPU's from "Throttling" ever again in ANY machine! Just to clarify, throttling is when a CPU or GPU (Video card) lower there clock speeds or power output to compensate for the heat to protect themselves from damage or sometimes, in rare cases, the machine will totally power off to protect itself.Again, recommend this paste to anyone for literally any CPU scenario, I can not speak on behalf of GPU usage but I would recommend it either way. one more note as well, this paste is a bit more viscous than others and you should take a bit of caution when applying it as it can come out a bit abruptly and watery as I mentioned before.

Bought this thermal paste to replace the standard thermal paste on the Nintendo Switch heat pipe and Soc.Comes out a bit more viscous than I was expecting, honestly. Honestly has a viscosity similar to acrylic paint. Due to such a high viscosity, cleaning the spreading tool it comes with is a nightmare.Luckily if you just want to continue to use it, reattaching the head and pressing it out works well. I'm not sure how well it works performance wise since I don't possess a thermometer but I'd say it appears to keep things cooler than before, which is good.

Great Thermal Paste for all your cooling needs.You can't go wrong will Gelid Solutions GC-Extreme Thermal Paste.
