I can't believe you guys are getting all excited over this paste. Alphacool's last pastes had completely misleading W/MK. Phobya Nanogrease Extreme, which was later relabeled as Subzero, had 16 w/mk, but performed WORSE than Kryonaut! (I still have the paste). Thermalright TFX beats it in every way, all the time. Even SYY-157 is better. But since Newer is ALWAYS better, well...maybe this will finally beat TFX.

If specifications are sincere? Then this will deliver 1C lower than ProlimaTech Nano PK3 (product of 2012). There is no magical chemistry out there, all that we should care about this is getting good performance even of new products, at known quality standards them be around in the past 10 years. Let's hope that Alphacool thermal grease supplier (factory), this is located in Taiwan, and it is in use the best chemistry of Taiwan. (That even MSI trust and use at their own factory).
I absolutely LOVE PK3. Too bad it's incredibly difficult to get the 30 gram tubes and have to rely on stock alerts. I use the stuff for work, very cost effective and high performance. I have some thermalright stuff too but it's a bit too much like putty and harder to work with. I don't spread paste and I'm actually quite liberal with X or X with dots in each pie for extra large GPU dies.

This is the opposed direction of high sincerity, but its very difficult to get small quantity = Japan Second best ProlimaTech = Taiwan https://www.shinetsusilicone-global.com/products/function/heat/index.shtml
The Thermalright TF3 = Shin-Etsu 7921 Now we have something that seems better than Shin-Etsu 7921, Honeywell 7950 phase change film. From https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?threads/honeywell-ptm7950-thermal-grease-which-you-dont-know.373132/ Around 22:00 Larid 780SP is 2 C higher than 7921/TFX without break-in or pump-out. https://b23.tv/egP06l Long term review, around 5:25, 7950 is 2C better than 780SP and those phase transition stuffs can survive over 10*24 hrs stress test. https://b23.tv/4nLK1L But it is for direct die/high temperature like GPU. Btw, look what I just found https://i.imgur.com/6QTWtTq.jpg
