This is a smooth thermal compound with a
non-grainy consistency. It’s neither runny nor hard and seems to have
that “just right” feel between the fingers. Quoted from the
manufacturer’s website:
“The only premium silver thermal
compound specifically designed to maximize the thermal conductivity
between today's high-performance processors and high-capacity coolers.” |

This is another metal
filled grease that is a bit inconsistent in texture. In both samples I
was provided it was both runny and thick. I also found that the silver
particles were much too thick. I wasted about 90% of the first tube
because it took excessive pressure to get the plunger to extract the
compound.
