On the recommendation of one of the hardware websites out there that is touting this stuff as the best thermal compound available, I purchased a tube and used it in my new build with a T-Bred and SLK-800. Within 3 days my temps were increasing and today I took the h/s off to have a look. The compound had completely migrated off of the core and was collected in a rim around it...the core itself was bone dry. I reapplied with AS-3 and my temps are now ~ 8C cooler at idle. Based on this experience I would have to recommend against using this compound.
 
it could be a bad batch, but i'm very curious as to why there was only one site with a review of it.

On top of that, the site had crap for testing methodology. Their insistance on "real world" but wrong results in mind boggling.

Yah...considering I have never seen anyone else review it there must be a connection. Anyhoo it was only $10 wasted...so just a warning to you guys.
