    My honey bought this for his laptop. He builds computers so he knows what he's doing when he buys this type of product. His processor kept over heating, so he had to buy a different product from Amazon.

    Excellent product to hold a CPU to a motherboard

    The thermal compound holds the CPU in place perfectly. I only needed to use this product once for one CPU being placed onto the motherboard of the computer. I had plenty of thermal compound left over. The performance was exactly as I expected.

    It certainly works fine

    OK, I replaced my CPU several months ago and assumed some old silicone vacuum pump grease would work as a thermal paste. Yesterday I decided to install a program that checked CPU temperatures. My intel quad core Q6600 was running between 70 and 80 deg C. This morning I bought the Insignia Thermal Paste, wiped off the dust filled silicone grease where it had run out, followed the instructions on the paste insert, and reinstalled the heat sink. The temperatures are now running 39 to 43 deg C under a light load.

    Good thermal paste, does what you need it to do. A bit runny, but not overly so, I used it in a pinch when my other thermal paste had gone bad, still lowered temps.
