These are the specifications, or rather, the technical characteristics, of the desktop computer. In which I installed this specific thermal paste. After changing the CPU.

RAM: 2 identical DIMMs Kingston KVR1333D3N9/8G. Total memory, 16 GB
Graphics Card: ASUS Radeon HD 7750 1 GB GDDR5
CPU Cooler: DEEPCOOL GAMMAXX 400 Black
Power Supply: Powertech ATX-530 Watt
Case: Super Case Hellas. SC-250-Blue
Monitor: Asus VS197DE Monitor 18.5". VGA (D-Sub) only
Operating System: Windows 10 Pro. Activated

What I really liked about the DeepCool Z3 was the special, high-quality plastic applicator.

To be able to apply the thermal paste with greater accuracy and efficiency on the processor.

The packaging of the DeepCool Z3 is truly very attractive. As you can see in my photos.

DeepCool is a Chinese company. Which is based in Beijing. It was founded in 1996. That is, 25 years ago.

I have two identical air coolers, for the 2 desktop computers I have at home. Their name is DeepCool Gammaxx 400 Black. And they cool both of my machines very, very effectively.

So, being satisfied with this company. I decided to buy this good thermal conductive paste, DeepCool Z3. Because of the application tool, the large tube, and its relatively low price.

Certainly, there are better thermal conductive pastes on the market. Like the excellent ones from Powertech. But. The temperatures I have under not very heavy use or gaming. Are, now in July 2021, with the intense heat.

From 25 - 45 degrees Celsius approximately. Very normal temperatures for an octa-core, powerful processor. And even in the middle of summer.

In conclusion, I have been very satisfied with the performance of the DeepCool Z3. It may not be the top-notch thermal paste. But I find it decent, for the job it does, and smartly designed. Enjoy it!

Positives

• Effective
• Adequate quantity in the tube
• Affordable price
• Adorable packaging
• Plastic tool for perfect application

Negatives

• There may be better thermal conductive pastes in the market

This paste, when I bought it, I got it for about 4 euros (about a year ago), and I have a complete opinion.

Positives: Well, this paste is easy to apply and I can say that it generally has good performance but not the best. Let's say on an i3 2350m processor from a laptop, it reduced the temperature from 70 degrees in a stress test to just 61 and from 50 in idle to just 44. Additionally, I should note that the tube (1.5g) will last several uses on a laptop. Based on these values, one could generally say "I am satisfied". But let's move on to the negatives.

Negatives: Now, on the negatives, I would say that this particular paste I would characterize as bad based on the price and value for money (vfm), because at the price I bought it and subsequently the price it is sold now, around 4 euros, I believe that one can find more reliable companies. I also expected better results in terms of processor cooling.

I have no opinion on the graphics card cooling as I did not try this specific paste.

I hope I helped!

Slightly worse than the paste of an Athlon 200GE, 1 to 2 degrees higher theoretically it is about the same, it will give its value over time, however slightly worse than Deepcool Z9 and the same as a PT690, only that Powertech is much cheaper

I did not have a previous paste to compare it with, however, it goes in easily and keeps the processor at a maximum of 70 degrees
