I had some left over after using it, so I tested to see if it was suitable as a spread. However, besides some minor side effects, the liquid metal was very good, and added a good flavor note to my Zmorgen.

Used the paste in my PC, but now I'm switching to Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut Extreme because it's not worth it. The cooling performance gain over a good classic paste is minimal (1-3°C when it gets high), and for that the disadvantages are not worth it. For one thing, you risk a short circuit in the system because it is liquid metal, which conducts electricity, and for another, individual metal components have already evaporated after a few months in operation. The CPU cooler then sticks quite well welded to the CPU and must be removed with some force, but it conducts worse than regular paste. On top, the metal residues only come off the cooler and CPU with pressure. The last time I tried it, I had to scrape off both parts with a sharp scraper blade and then finish everything off with fine polishing paste. This means that every few months everything has to be cleaned and relubricated in order to continue to guarantee high-end cooling.
Standard coolant lasts longer, requires less maintenance, is less risky and cools almost as well.

I have my I7 6700k headed and must say that I am thrilled by the temperature difference, max. temperature has dropped from 75 ° C to 58 ° C now. The thing has been worth it.
Also, the application of the liquid metal is very simple thanks to the supplied "cotton swab". Can be distributed well.
In short: product keeps what it promises.
Very good product. Spreads well. Cooling capacity is optimal.
Caution!
The liquid metal may not stick well to the hand, but it can still be spread.
Can leave very ugly stains, so always be careful when applying.

I've been using it since 25 July 2023 and haven't had any dips in performance yet.
It was special for me to apply it correctly, but that's probably down to me. I also can't really judge whether the quantity is right for the price.

Very good performance, but does not grip well
