K5 PRO 10g Viscous Thermal Paste - Compatible with Apple iMac, Asus ROG, Acer Nitro, MSI Laptops, RTX 3080, 2080TI, 3090, PS4, Nintendo Switch, Xbox

This is a great thermal paste for larger gaps. I wouldn’t use this between a processor and heatsink where the connection is very tight, but it is great for transferring heat in areas without tight connections.As an example, I have a Nintendo Switch that is about seven years old and was suffering from a dying, puffed battery and a loud, clearly dying heatsink fan. I followed an iFixit guide and took the Switch apart, and they recommended using this compound between a heat pipe that leaves the processor, and a large metal plate that goes across the back of the processor for heat distribution. The gap is larger there, and the old thermal paste that Nintendo had used was dry and brittle and crumbling, and I replaced all of it with this one. (For the processor and heatsink connection itself, which is tight, I used a different product, Arctic MX-6, which is what I use for all my desktop computer CPU installations).I have had zero issues with any over heating in the months since it has been applied, and we use our Switch heavily. I can feel the heat spread evenly across the back of the switch, so it is clearly doing the transfer between the small pipe and the larger plate, just as expected. I think this is a great product and would definitely recommend it.

It was easy to apply when replacing the midframe on my kid's Switch. The included stick was nice to have.

Swapped the fan in my V1 Switch and decided to remove the old thermals and replace them. This paste was specifically used to replace the factory "red paste" (see my picture) for the metal plate that runs along the entire back of the Switch and connects to the copper(?) pipe. The red paste is (and needs to be) thick so this paste was a great replacement. Very integral as that metal plate disperses the heat evenly across the entire back of the unit and the paste acts as a bridge between the components and the metal plate.

Hasta el momento despues de aplicarla no he tenido problema de altas temperaturas en los mosfet VRM y las bobinas, si lleva tiempo de aplicarla toca tener paciencia y usa la espatula de madera que trae en el empaque, seguir las instricciones.

My first time using this product, successfully eplaced several thermal pads when repasting ASUS ROG laptop.Watch some videos if you haven't used it - if you try too hard to be neat you are going to make it much harder for yourself. However viscous you are thinking it will be, it's more than that.100% glad that I watched a couple vids first to see just how sloppy people were being with it - would be very difficult to be neat with it IMO. The directions also tell you not to worry about it, but I still wouldn't have been as free with it as needed if I hadn't seen it.

i should've taken a picture... i kinda just bladobbed the F out of my components to make sure all 4 corners were coated and nothing was thin, i was afraid i would run out but seemingly its a pretty full chapstick tube.... i still have some left over, but not enough for another job on my laptop.

I haven’t noticed any issues after using this on a switch when I replaced an OLED screen so far, very happy

Needed replacement paste for the heat shield when I replaced the broken card reader in our Nintendo Switch, I've had no issues with the Switch overheating so it seems to be doing it's job!
