Review: 🤯 MIND IS BLOWING 🤯 - 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 Thought I had a mobo going out, sensor issues, false reading from my software, outdated drivers.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.
Review: Fantastic Thermal Paste - Great performance! - This stuff is the real deal. I don't know how it compares to some of the other more "extreme" TIM solution but it absolutely stomps AS5 in my comparison testing. I use the Corsair Hydro Series H110i GTX Cooling - After having trouble with my in warranty EVGA motherboard EVGA X99 Classified Intel Socket LGA 2011-3 with DDR4 2666Mhz Motherboard 151-HE-E999-KR which EVGA replaced without any fuss. I found myself having to redo the TIM on my Intel i7-5830k Intel Core i7-5930K Haswell-E 6-Core 3.5GHz LGA 2011-v3 140W Desktop Processor BX80648I75930K . The processor is overclocked to 4.5GHz just for reference. I had some Arctic Silver 5 that I had just purchased so I used that. It performed worse than the thermal pad that came with the Corsair coole. My temps were reaching upwards of 60C during gaming, and never went much below 45C at idle. I decided to buy into the hyper of Gelid Solutions GC-Extreme and purchased this. I prepared the surface of the CPU and the cooler the exact same way both times. ArcticClean steps 1 and 2, and then rubbing alcohol as a final cleaning with a micro fiber cloth. After running my CPU under load and idle conditions for the past 24 hours this TIM is already producing temps 10C or more under what I was getting with AS5. I used a large pea sized blob on the middle of my CPU (large because the i7-5830K is a bit bigger than a normal i7. The change was immediate and undeniable. It hasn't even had time to flow properly into all the surface imperfections and these temperature drops are already impressive. I'm absolutely 100% satisfied with my purchase, and there's still a lot left in the tube, I might replace the TIM on my video card as well. I've seen at least one review complaining about the price. I suppose compared to $6 for a tube of AS5 this could be considered "expensive". But you get a lot more in the tube, I would say there's probably enough for 10 or more applications in there (that's a guess). It outperforms AS5 in my humble little side by side. In my opinion this is a great value considering performance and the amount you actually get in the tube. I highly recommend this to anyone looking for a good TIM.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does the 1g tube not come with an applicator? Because mine didn't.**
A: 1g tube does not come with the applicator. Only the 3.5g and the 10g come with applicator. Thanks.

**Q: How would this compare to thermal grizzly kryonaut? Im not sure which to repaste my laptop with.**
A: This is basic ceramic compound. It's safe to use on a delidded CPU or a laptop. It's not conductive and it won't destroy aluminum. 
In roundup test on the net it's maybe a degree behind Kryonaut but it's near the top of the list. Kryonaut beats every other Ceramic based compound. GC-Extreme is low viscosity so it spreads very easy and it's hard to mess up the application. Kryonaut is less forgiving when it comes to applying it, which give GC-E an advantage in  that area.

The metal compounds by Cool Laboratory, Conductonaut, and Phoyba contain gallium which interacts with aluminum and makes it brittle. These are also conductive and the Gallium will melt at 86f so you have to apply the right amount. If you want to use this stuff then great, but watch several videos to see how it's done. Personally when I use this stuff, I use Scotch tape on everything which creates a barrier. On a CPU you can use Liquid Electrical tape on the contacts and this will make the application safe if you use the right amount. 

The metal compounds will only shave off a couple degrees between the IHS and heatsink base on a desktop CPU so it's not even worth using. It's only worthwhile for delidding and on a laptop.

**Q: Would one tube of this stuff be enough to apply to both a laptop CPU and GPU or should I buy a tube for each component?**
A: Yes, I used it 4 times (3 times on the same laptop, and then 1 time on another laptop) , and i haven't reached the half yet.One tube should be enough to do the CPU and GPU multiple times. (like in case you put it wrongly and need to retry)Laptop CPU and GPU die are usually small, and do not require that much anyway, on the other hand, desktop CPUs require more amount for each time, so can not comment on that.

**Q: Any long time experience on a CPU?**
A: I have had Gelid GC-Extreme on my cpu for over a year and have had no problems with cooling degradation whats so ever.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great product
*by K***M on June 28, 2025*

Why did you pick this product vs others?: I built my pc about 2.5 years ago and wanted to repaste I 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
