Anyone had a chance to use this yet?

Stocked in a few places in the UK now. Apparently a massive step up on cooling ability?

Can't find any reviews for it.

Just a new more environmentally friendly packaging from what I can see - nothing else obvious mentioned

For some reason it sounded like a new product to me. In which case I'll stick to NT-H1, thanks.

Well for a start their "better than liquid metal" claim was based on a test done on a 8800GT way back in 2010 so have they actually changed anything other than the packaging? It always was good paste and great value and I used it up to the point the Gelid launched their GC Extreme which was even better. I then switched to Thermal Grizzly Kyonaut which is even better than GC Extreme so Arctic Coolings claims are way out of date. It's still a good paste for the price though and would be around the top end of the mid range performance pastes.
