GC-2 thermal paste any good?

It comes with the gelid tranquillo, was wondering if anyone has any experience with it and whether I should buy a different one?

No personal knowledge.
TechPowerUp tested it with same results as MX-2
Bjorn3D thought it was good.

if it is branded - it should be fine

I read a few reviews and it seemed pretty good, but one said they had trouble cleaning it off and bits were left or something.

Think I will just stick with it rather than buying another one.

Thanks

It's not great. I don't understand why Gelid don't bundle the gc extreme which is much better...

I guess I can try it and if there are any problems, remove it and then use another one?

Yeah, a little alcohol and cotton buds. Keep some paper towels hand. I swear these pastes will jump 40mm to get on things.
