Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

The Corsair XTM70 Extreme Performance Thermal Paste is a must-have for anyone looking to achieve the best cooling performance for their high-powered CPUs.

Pros:

1. Extreme Performance: This thermal paste is designed for Intel and AMD processors with TDPs of up to 250W or more. It ensures your CPU remains cool even under the most demanding workloads.
2. Low Viscosity: The low viscosity of the paste makes it easy to apply, ensuring optimal coverage and efficient heat transfer between the CPU and the heatsink.
3. Easy Application: The included applicator kit and cleaning wipes simplify the application process. You don’t need to be an expert to achieve a perfect application.
4. High-Quality Brand: Corsair is known for its high-quality PC components, and this thermal paste is no exception. It’s a reliable choice for cooling your valuable CPU.
5. Three Cleaning Wipes: The three included cleaning wipes are a thoughtful addition, making it easy to remove old thermal paste and ensure a clean and efficient reapplication.

Cons:

1. Price: While this thermal paste is a top-tier choice for cooling, it is relatively more expensive than standard thermal pastes. However, the cooling performance it offers justifies the cost.

In summary, the Corsair XTM70 Extreme Performance Thermal Paste is a game-changer for cooling high-performance CPUs. It’s easy to apply, efficient at heat transfer, and suitable for demanding processors. If you’re a PC enthusiast, gamer, or professional who values temperature control and system stability, this thermal paste is an excellent choice. While it may come at a premium, the cooling performance it delivers is well worth the investment. Highly recommended!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great for Beginners - Helps Application Amount Be Just Right
Reviewed in the United States on November 27, 2023
This is nice for people applying thermal paste for the first time, because it takes away the guess work about how much to use. There is some waste though.

It also works better than the paste I previously had. Average temps at idle are down between 1 and 6 degrees C, depending on which measurement you're looking at. See pictures. The previous paste was Tuniq TX-2.

It should be noted that after you own this kit, you can buy just the paste separately going forward.

The CPU is a 5950x, and the cooler being used is the Ice Giant Prosiphon Elite. It's housed in a Phantek Enthoo Pro case with fans in all available places.

I didn't end up actually using this. The project we were working on came with a tube. So I didn't try it.out. shipping was quick and it was exactly as described.

5.0 out of 5 stars What I needed
Reviewed in the United States on June 11, 2024
I needed a cheaper product that I was able to use for more than one use and this fits all the categories. Would recommend it for anyone needing thermal paste. Was easy to use and cheap.

5.0 out of 5 stars It's thermal paste - what else to know?
Reviewed in the United States on April 15, 2024
I found the thermal past in my 12-year-old desktop had turned hard and had crumbled. Probably why the CPU was unhappy. Cleaned it off and applied this paste. It was a bit thinner than I expected, more like a cream than paste, but the CPU seem to like it and it is running cooler. Also there's enough paste left for a couple more applications.

5.0 out of 5 stars Used on my Strix Hero III laptop; works like a charm, much less messy than what came out of it!
Reviewed in the United States on September 17, 2020
So I noticed my laptop was getting a bit of thermal throttle after the first year of use, and despite the lack real guidance on this particular model as to how exactly to resolve this (and no real breakdown/application guide for it... anywhere...), I took a leap of faith and grabbed this stuff.

To put it bluntly, since I was NOT using this on a desktop and therefore could not use the template, I can concur with some other reviewers; It does NOT spread well (I wound up throwing caution to the wind, using a plastic knife edge to simply blot it down, and then spread it evenly as best I could).
It is a bit... I don't know, different? I know it's strictly to close the air gaps between heat sinks and whatever they touch, but I found it incredibly fickle specifically on the VRM's in my machine (I'm guessing the type of ferrite they use for ASUS machines and THIS paste just... Well... Don't work together well...?).
On the flip side, I used about one notch of the paste for the entire job; the OEM paste was a hot mess, and wound up breaking down at some point, making a huge toothpick level job to remove all of it from the machine.
That being said, I can definitely tell the big difference it made in how NOT warm the laptop is. I can't say it "cools" any better, it is a laptop, after all, but, it definitely isn't thermal throttling, the fan curves are more well behaved, and ultimately, everything does in fact run better as a result.

So I guess that's a win in my book, to be fair! We'll check it in six months, since the entire machine has to come apart (or sooner, if I start to notice misbehavior again) and a re paste has to happen in order for that to happen (I'd rather not, but no thanks to this paste). May use it on my desktop and see how it goes!
