Those of us who build several computers at the same time or just have to clean one up from several years of dirt, dust and nicotine will often have to replace the thermal compound. Most tubes come with just enough for 3 or 4 chips but this one is huge relatively speaking. It spreads easily and comes with a small applicator to insure that you get an even coat before you drop the heat sync into place. Well worth the price if you need it.

Used this when installing a new processor. It seems to help keep the processor cool. This thermal compound goes between the processor and heatsink/fan.

Pretty good thermal paste

I have a Xbox 360 that has the red ring of death. I bought this thermal paste specifically to cool the Xbox 360's GPU in hopes of curing the system. I would say it works pretty well. After applying the paste, the system seem to work fine for about a week. Athogh my Xbox 360 went back to having the red ring of death, I suspect it is because I did not use all of the thermal paste at once. If you a apply the whole amount I'm sure it will keep the system from overheating.

Works well, but cost more than I expected, but it will last me a long time, and can use it more than once! If you need thermal paste right away, get it at Best Buy!

This compound applied easily with the syringe applicator. I used this when upgrading the CPU on my 2009 MacPro. New faster CPU runs as cool as it should. Success!

Easy to apply, it helped cool down my CPU after the previous thermal paste got degraded. Probably enough compound for 4-5 applications in the syringe.

This is a basic thermal compound, sufficient for most jobs. I haven't had it in place long enough to know if there is a significant dry out issue after a certain time limit.

Thermal Paste, Easy to use and apply

Simple to use and apply onto processor. Make sure existing thermal paste/tape is removed prior to applying the new thermal paste. Use rubbing alcohol to remove existing paste. When applying, don't use too much, use the included spreading tool to apply an even thin coat across the top of processor. (Only apply to silver part of processor, not the circuit board areas).

When moving a processor to a new motherboard I needed new thermal paste immediately. Nothing special about this past, but it does the job in replacing the old.
