Great CPU and Im now GPU bound

- Fast, super fast, very fast. - Worked out of the box. - Insane number of cores.

This is a much thinner (aka low viscosity) paste than most other brands, which makes is spread thin more quickly and easily. It fills in microscopic bumps in poorly milled, lower quality heatsink contact plates, which is great. It’s simpler and quicker for an inexperienced user to see if they applied too much as well. The manufacturer doesn’t state anything about a break-in period where viscosity changes and the materials sort, etc like other more chemically varied pastes on the market so I assume it doesn’t have one, which is nice. Also, it’s non-conductive and non-toxic. In comparison tests against Arctic Silver, this paste unfortunately didn’t win (see next section) but it did come close enough to be a consideration if you’re not looking for the absolute best cooling solution, especially considering the lower price. It was, after all, REALLY close and this paste is thinner and easier to apply in some cases. Overall, this is a more cost-efficient, easy paste for applications where thermal performance just needs to be acceptable, making this the #1 choice for re-applying a large volume of stock coolers, etc and because of its simplistic, homogeneous materials, it should stay stable longer than high performance pastes. Because of that, I’d considering it best in its specific class and it easily gets a 5 star rating.

Got the 7800x3d for my AM5 build. 7200mhz ram paired with 4090 absolutely flies @ 4k. I play mainly Hunt Showdown and RDR2. Maxes out my 4k 144mhz 43inch Aorus monitor 90% of the time in both games. I love it

All the AMD parts work together well. No glitch yet.

Amazing the fast speed for gaming compared to intel i9 series CPU.

It's Great! Keeps my ryzen 5 5500 under 75 full load and does not even have to turn on the fan idle!

- Good performance in gaming - Good performance as workstation - Runs way cooler than previous generations (35 C idle, 60 C gaming) - Has an NPU - Price (at the time of review)

Fast, reliable, good AM5 platform, OCs well, runs cooler than competition, king of gaming

Product was easy to install. Made an absolute difference in my machines performance.

I am cooling it with Be Quite! Dark Rock Pro 4

runs better than my 3900x on a b660m ASRock pro RS board 240mmaio


-silent under most loads -extremely functional and quality feel for the price -sturdy -sealed AIO does not need maintenance or initial filling -filled with premium Corsair coolant -very easy to install, comes with premium hardware that will suit most mid applications

good performance, solid price

If you are looking for the best performance at quiet noise levels, then this is the unit for you. With a 7800x3d it will run 30's degrees Celsius at idle in the silent preset mode. With CPU demanding tasks it will run low 80's Celsius while in quiet mode. It was extremely easy to install with AMD or Intel CPU's. The RGB looks great and can easily be controlled from the MSI Center software. When you install the unit and then run windows update the MSI Center software download will automatically run.


24 cores at this price in unreal. The other guys give you 6 and 8 cores for this price lol. Boots fast, and breezes through everything I throw at it without a hitch. Gaming and multi tasking are a dream. CPU runs very cool despite being a multicore beast. Compatible with my older AIO, no need for any adapters, just worked. New Intel APO and IBT features are cool, but hope they support them long term. Overclocks really, really well. I am running at E cores at 5.1Ghz, P cores at 5.6Ghz and D2D at 4.0Ghz, Cache at 4.1GHz, and NGU at 3.4Ghz. These are well above stock, and it has zero issues. Tuned my DRAM to 8667 CL38 and get huge bandwidth and low latency now.

Easy to apply works great dropped my CPU Temp down to 42C under heavy load... Running a FX8320 at 4.2Ghz Just cause I don'y really need more but I'm sure I could take it up to 4.8Ghz if i Tried.

-Gaming performance is really good -Multitasks well with its 6 Cores/12 threads -Pairs well with a budget B660 board -Undervolts well
