    I picked this up because I ran out if my usual Arctic Silver 5 paste and they didn't have that at the store and couldnt wait for a shipment. It's good for a budget paste. Definitely way worse brands out there.

    I was rebuilding my brother's old PC and using this because the thermal paste was so old. It was my first time and I was nervous. I just used the pea method for applying the compound. So far the old PC has been running great! I would definitely practice applying the thermal paste on paper (same size as CPU) before you apply it to the CPU if you have never done it before.

    A little "soupier" than most heat sink compounds, but it's seems genuinely silver-based and did the trick to bond my CPU coolers to their respective CPUs. It comes with a nice little plastic scraper to get the paste evened out on the CPU and cooler, and there's probably five or six applications within the syringe. The fact that you can locally pick this up versus having to mail order some compound is the best part. I'll dock it a single star because other compounds aren't quite as messy, because they're a little thicker, but it's a minor consideration. Go remove your dusty and cracked compound from your PC, refresh it with this and you won't be sorry.

    You're probably thinking - "it's thermal compound - what's the big deal?" Well, not all thermal compound products are made the same. This product applies easily and has superb conductivity that does not degrade. If you're reading this review, I suspect you've used a product or two in the past that left was subpar.
