Thermalright TFX 2g Thermal Paste Heat Sink Compound 14.3W/m.k, 2 Grams, Graphic Card CPU Thermal Grease, Laptop Thermal Grease

Thermalright TFX is my top pick for thermal paste on GPUs and glass substrates, by far. Some find its thick texture hard to spread, but I don’t see this as a problem. After decades of experience, my current technique is to simply apply a central blob in the general shape of the surface, let the heatsink’s pressure spread it, and get great results, usually better than careful spreading (check YouTube videos for proof). The thick paste stays in place during GPU temperature swings, preventing pump-out better than most pastes. So far, it's lasted at least a few years in my tests with no degradation, so at worst the longevity is no worse than OEM pastes. It has low thermal resistance and high conductivity, isn’t electrically conductive (unlike liquid metal), and its easy to use. The main drawback is the price: 2g is costly and only covers about six GPUs if you’re careful. I recommend it for GPU refurbishing, but I wish Thermalright offered larger, cheaper quantities for non-OEM customers like me.

Paste is very thick, too difficult to apply, but works great! It reduced my GPU hotspot temp 15-20c!

This paste is pretty thick and a lil bit annoying to spread with. That being said, the thickness is supposed to help with pump out. Repasted my XFX SWFT 210 6600XT and it dropped my temps by at least 10C (Edge and Hotspot). Only time will tell if this paste is actually resilient against pump out, but so far it works great! EDIT: It pumped out after about a month or so :/

Used on my 6 year old 1070 for its first repaste. Yes the paste is thick and you'll either need to heat it as you spread it or heat it in water before use. I applied a line across the top of the chip, and then used the applicator to spread it down in one even motion, while applying heat from a hair dryer. Get it done in one swipe if possible and you'll have less headache. Thermals are all good now even after a month of steady use. 11c Hotspot delta is holding rock solid. 32c idle and under 60c while gaming.

Really love this paste. It is a little thicker than say, mx4 or even mx6. Easy to use. Great cooling right off the bat. Cheap for some reason even though it kicks butt. Very nice quality imo, I’ve bought it a few times now and plan to continue to do so. X method works perfect for me on CPU’s.
