Overclocker Cafe "The OCZ paste is like other top tier products in this category and is not electrically conductive. The OCZ FreeZe has shown itself to compete neck and neck with other performance oriented thermal interface materials. The OCZ FreeZe is an excellent cooling product well worth consideration and use by the end user. High end thermal paste for the no holds barred rig is a must and OCZ has something to fit the bill."

Mikhailtech "Since Freeze is not metallic based, there is no chance of electrical conductivity. The no curing time feature is a nice one to have when testing heat sinks as waiting 48+ hours for the thermal paste to cure is just not realistic.
The results are quite impressive. This is incredible considering that Freeze is completely silver free. OCZ made a bold statement and delivered with Freeze. It is a great step up from Arctic Silver 5 not only in terms of cooling prowess, but also in terms of ease of spreading and clean up. Plus Freeze gives you the peace of mind of not being metallic based."

OverClock Intelligence Agency "The once-reigning king of thermal compounds seems to be getting bested at every turn. OCZ firmly establishes itself as a leader in the thermal compound arena with their Freeze paste. The OCZ Freeze is most definitely a great choice for overclockers and those seeking the most cooling performance possible from a thermal interface material."

TweakTown "OCZ has brought to the table a thermal material that beats the silver goops hands down, requires no curing time, and is not electrically conductive. It performs right in line with similar products being offered and is also cheaper than Arctic Silver. I have no qualms at all in recommending a tube of OCZ Freeze for your next (or current) build. It works well and will last a long time after applying, so you just cannot go wrong."

Hardware Canucks "When we overclock the CPU to 3.6GHz, thus generating more heat, OCZ Freeze keeps its performance levels at the same heights. What makes the OCZ Freeze stand out from alot of the competition is its ease of installation and how easy it is to remove. Not only is it the absolute perfect consistency for speading acoss your CPU but it solidifies to just the right texture for it not to become an unholy mess when it comes time to clean the bottom of your heatsink. OCZ brought a great thermal compound to the market."

Benchmark Reviews "OCZ Technology is best know for their amazingly diverse system memory product line. Very recently though, they have expanded into high-performance system building with the acquisition of Hypersonic. This puts them in a perfect position to offer full-spectrum performance on every level.The OCZ Freeze compound appeared to be identical to all other grey silicon-based carbon-enriched TIM's, yet somehow the lab coats managed to dope this product with all the right ingredients. I presume that this will be the most popular product of the bunch, since it can be purchased from a myriad of online stores."

Hardware Logic "Looking back over the results, relative newcomer OCZ FreeZe stand out, while some of the more generic entries lag behind as the temperatures scale upward. While most of the solutions performed very well, there were a few that stood out in the crowd. The handful of thermal compounds that outperformed are all excellent choices, offering zero cure time, non-electrical conductivity, and easy application."

Driver Heaven "OCZ win the battle of thermal compounds. The Freeze paste outperformed the MX-2 and did so straight out of the box, as claimed by OCZ. A very impressive achievement."

Overclockers Pulse "Overall, it'd be easier to get good contact with the OCZ Freeze the first time around because it's so easy to spread. The OCZ Freeze beat the Noctua NT-H1 by a whole 3ºC under load. At idle, the OCZ Freeze was again superior with a 2ºC advantage. To make sure a bad mount wasn't the cause of this, I remounted the block again with each paste and found similar results. The OCZ Freeze yet again took the lead with the lowest temps for both idle and load."

CircuitRemix "OCZ's Freeze had the absolute best performance of the thermal compounds tested today. It doesn't require a curing time after application and isn't electrically conductive. OCZ has a great distribution network thanks to its widespread memory products, which should make Freeze easily available. It earns the Editor's Choice Award."

Tech Gear "OCZ have delivered as promised and have arguably triumphed over Artic Silver 5. The OCZ Freeze is a great step up from Arctic Silver 5 not only in terms of cooling ability, but also in terms of applying and clean up. Freeze also gives you the peace of mind of not being metallic based."

Dragon Steel Mods "OCZ is known for it's high performance products and the Freeze Thermal Compound fits right in with their product line, it's easy to apply, non-toxic and gives great results. The no-curing time is a nice added bonus to the other features of this product as no one really wants to wait to achieve good results. I can honestly recommend the OCZ Freeze to anyone out there looking for something different to use with their systems, you won't be disappointed, I wasn't."

Technohydra "The Freeze paste performs very well overall. After that it is very effective. Overall though it's a solid product."

CPU3D "We found the OCZ Freeze to produce the lowest CPU core temperatures in the group. The proprietary silicon based formula of the OCZ Freeze seem to take that crown. On average during full load, the OCZ Freeze produced around 7-8 degrees lower than generic silicone paste. My personal favourite is the OCZ Freeze. When it comes to lowering CPU core temperatures, a good quality thermal paste does, and will make a difference. So, go out and arm yourself with some good quality thermal paste. We recommend the OCZ Freeze."

Elite Bastards "For starters its performance is, quite simply, excellent - A cut above the other thermal interface materials we've tested recently, with temperature drops noticeably improved over its rivals. Then there's the fact that no burn-in time is required, which makes installation much more hassle-free, allowing you to see the cooling improvements you'll be getting straight away with the worry of having to run your system for a certain amount of time before you get the best out of the paste. Throw in the fact that the Freeze thermal interface material is thin and easy enough to apply, and you have yourself a sure-fire winner.Overall then, there's little we need to say about OCZ's Freeze thermal interface material in closing, other than - Hugely impressive. Quite simply, it's the best thermal compound we've had the please to test here at Elite Bastards thus far."

Icrontic "OCZ's Freeze is also a very potent thermal interface material. It managed to best our reference ceramic-based paste by a 1.5°C margin. It can be found at just about any PC retailer and is priced reasonably as well."

X-bit Labs "This thermal compound is of light gray color and comparatively thin consistency. However, it is extremely adhesive, so you can easily apply an even and thin layer over the CPU heat-spreader. OCZ Freeze Extreme should remain functional during a period of two years. The new OCZ Freeze Extreme performed extremely well as a highly efficient, relatively inexpensive and very easy to work with."

TweakUp (Denmark) “OCZ Freeze Thermal Paste performs extremely well. While 3-4 degrees might not seem like that much to some it is actually very impressive especially considering we are comparing the Freeze to some renowned themal paste. The OCZ Freeze is also very competitively priced, easy to use also for HDT coolers which start appearing more and more lately and of course as mentioned the outstanding performance.”

MikroDatorn (Sweden) "For paste, you can use OCZ's Freeze Extreme, based on a mass low thermal resistance and very high conductivity."

PC Live! (Ireland) “Based on a formulation of thermally conductive ingredients, this gel can lower CPU core temperatures, thus helping to reduce the thermal barrier between the CPU and cooler. This lets you maintain your PC’s performance over long periods without breaking the bank.”

PC Update (France) "Our top three includes the OCZ Freeze, one of the excellent pastes that will provide satisfaction."
