It's promising to be the best thermal interface material ever. Each kit comes with enough sheets for 2 processors.

*WARNING* Do not attempt to use this on anything other than Intel Broadwell, Haswell, Ivy Bridge, Sandy Bridge and Nehalem! Socket 1150, 1155 and 1156 only!

Cannot be used for AMD. The TIM is precut to size and will not physically cover an AMD heat spreader. Also by following the application process, you will fry your AMD chip since their thermal protection is inferior.

To properly install this product, system must be ran with cooling fans OFF to turn the sheet of thermal material into a liquid-metallic goo, which then fills every imaginable imperfection between your heatsink and heat spreader. After that, run system as normal and enjoy better temps Will have to wait for reviews to see exactly how much better, but i'd guess at least 3-4C.
