Well all that aside your machine is about three or four of mine, certainly nothing to stick someone's nose up at :rockout:

This isn't for a review, really. This is for my own uses. I'll have to get approval from W1zz to post results as a review.

That said, doing board and CPU reviews means that I have to change cooler often, and I tend to go through a lot of paste, so these sort of tube sizes aren't big enough for me. Since I started board reviews here I have gone through 5 of those huge MX2/MX4 tubes. So I don't care about performance of a paste that much... I care about affordability. So these pastes were had at a very low price, which is why I have them in the first place. I basically paid $50 for all this paste ('cause shipping; none of these are carried by local retailers). Find me a killer deal on Thermal Grizzly and I might pick some up.

i will like to have or see some results about CoolerMaster one!
Looking at packaging, that coolmaster paste has the best W/m.K rating, so I am expecting it to do well. The GELID pastes do not have such info on their packaging.

great, i do like the brand cause here in my place they always have a great but not actualized stock, some stores sell several products of CM line and all thermal pastes are always in stock, not al products but at least that one you have there is in stock sometimes, so i like to try it!


@sneekypeet what a wonderful stock you have there! if you like to share take me in the list!
