Cooler Master Mastergel Maker is the top of CM line-up. This paste is grey in color, its thermal conductivity is rated at 11 W / mK, and the density is 2.6 g. The capacity is 1.5 ml. It’s relatively easy to spread thanks to the shape of the end of "syringe".

MasterGel Pro is supplied in a syringe (4g volume). This paste also has a grey color, and its thermal conductivity is 8 W/mK, with a density of 2.6 g. The capacity is 1.5 ml. There’s also a cloth included for removing your old thermal paste. This is another product that is relatively easy to spread, and you shouldn’t have any problems with it.

The Cooler Master Mastergel Regular is provided in a syringe. Its thermal conductivity is above 5 W / mK and it has a density of 2.5 g. The capacity is 1.5 ml. There’s a wiping cloth included here as well. The paste is relatively hard to spread, which was quite a surprise.

Corsair decided to use a simple, easy-to-open cardboard packaging for the TM30 thermal compound. On the front, you can see the actual syringe through a plastic window in the middle. Just like most thermal compounds on the market, the TM30 is stored inside a syringe, which also acts as the applicator. Only a 3g version is available for purchase, which should be enough for around 10 to 15 applications on mainstream processors using the Intel LGA 115x or AMD AM4 sockets. There are markings on the tube to show how much thermal compound is left inside. The TM30 has a dark-grey colour, similar to most thermal compounds we tested. It is more liquid than the others, which may contribute to the claimed longer lifespan with no drying or cracking.
