Picked up the Corsair TM30 since my usual thermal paste was on back order, and honestly, it holds its own. On both my 9950X and 9600X, temps are within 2°C of my preferred brand, so performance is more than acceptable. Easy to apply, consistent texture, and spreads evenly. Not the absolute best paste out there, but for the price and availability, it’s a solid option I’d definitely use again in a pinch.

★★★★★Does Its Job Well
I purchased the tm30 for my new build containing a ton of corsair parts. I've always had good experiences with the brand--fans, PSUs, cases--but I've never used their thermal paste, usually opting for arctic or grizzly. I just threw it in my cart without doing much digging because of this.
I then read some reviews online saying this paste isn't that great, people were having issues with the viscosity, so on so forth. This made me a little nervous, but I wanted to find out for myself it this paste was good or not, so I pasted my 9700x to a corsair nautilus 360 with this item. I then overclocked my cpu to 105 watts (from the default 65) and tested some games like cyberpunk.
I have had absolutely no issues with this paste. The nautilus may be a bit overkill for the 9700x, but my whole system stays sooooo cold. Highest temp I've seen was like 82 C during shader compilation in Marvel Rivals, and it plummeted to 60 or so during actual gameplay. In fact, with every game I've played so far (aside from cyberpunk at max settings) my cpu has stayed under 70 degrees.
I'm fairly sure I even used a bit too much paste during application, but my thermals are still grand. My experience has been really positive so far.
