    Ran out of thermal paste while rebuilding my computer after a cleaning. Best Buy saved my bacon with this product for sure, they were about to close when I walked up. They stayed open just long enough for me to get this and leave. I had a paper due then next day and this saved me from being late.

    I guess nobody puts together PCs anymore. I have an old Dell 9200 where power supply died. Taking out power supply necessitated taking off cooling fan from the CPU (dont even ask). So needed this item to put the whole thing together. This should cost $3, not $11, but what can you do?

    I was having problems with my desktop PC turning off randomly, I decided to install some CPU and GPU temp analyzers and saw that the temp went kind of high. Cleaned the PC with compressed air and also decided to apply new Insignia Thermal compound and now I had have no issues since then.

    I purchased this as an alternative to the Artic Silver I usually use. Let me tell you, I have rebuilt 100's of Mac Pro machines using Artic Silver, this is not the same, it is very thin, and oily, I am not sure of the thermal conductive ability of it, but I don't trust it.

    I was cleaning my p.c. and discovered after removing my fan connected to the motherboard that I had broken the thermal seal which I was not aware of after talking to a friend he explained what I needed to do to keep my p.c. from overheating I went to best buy and one of the techs confirmed it after using it my p.c. runs normally.

    It does what its supposed to do, the price was on point for the size of the tube, I wound up not needing it for the application that I was going to use it for but I could always use some for future projects.

    I took out my CPU fan to clean after reading online that a good clean and reapplying thermal paste would help with the electric connections. I used this glue to reattach the fan and the computer is working again. Very good.
