Banggood New 30g Grey Thermal Grease Paste Compound Silicone For CPU Heatsink Heat Sink

I have an aging dell small form factor PC that I use as a home theater computer to stream Netflix and YouTube among other things. It didn't have a video card so I threw in an old GeForce 210 I had laying around because it has low power consumption and an HDMI output, and I noticed very high temps, 65c at idle and 81c under load. Suspecting that it needed new thermal compound I got this. It took a couple weeks coming from China, but it finally got here today. I applied some after cleaning off the old compound, which was in fact old and hardened. I now see temps of 42c at idle, and 63c under load streaming HD video. Worked great, and I have a ton left over for anything else I would need it for.Update: I removed a star because this doesn't perform as well on something that produces a lot of heat. I used it on an old 95 watt tdp dual core, and an old very low tdp geforce GPU and it was fine for those, no problems there. But, I recently used this on my gaming computer's CPU which is a 6 core hyper threaded 180 watt tdp beast that gets very warm. Even though this application was fresh paste to replace the hardened old paste, the temps are now a bit hotter than before. Do not use this for high tdp components as it will not perform well on something that really heats up. My core temps are hovering in the low 70's under 60% load playing Fallout 4 now and my cpu fan has to ramp up to 100% and sounds like a damn jet turbine, and it's not even over locked. Spend the extra three dollars to get some arctic silver for your high performance components.

I wasn't expecting, well, anything of this thermal paste. I mean, $2 for a tube of cheapo Chinese thermal paste. My original plan for this actually consisted of finding creative ways to make messes with it. Surely it would be absolute garbage as actual thermal paste, right?Well, no. And a little bit yes. But mostly no. I haven't done any side-by-side comparisons, as I bought this solely for the purpose of using it in low-budget builds I intend to sell on the cheap. My general reaction from knowing about how hot Core 2 Duo CPUs run on stock-ish coolers is that the paste really isn't bad. It's certainly not to the level of MX-4 or NT-H1, but it never looked too far off.My biggest issue with the paste is that it's very thin and a bit runny. This means that it's hard to get an even layer. I also don't know if this paste is electrically conductive, which, given that electrically conductive paste can short things out and spell doom for your motherboard, is an important piece of information.All that said, I'm ok with this thermal paste. Not blown away, but for a $2 tube of God-knows-what, you could do a whole lot worse. I like it enough that I just bought myself another $2 tube of it to make sure I always have some on hand. There are situations where you need a high-end paste...and there are times where you just need paste. This is a great choice for the latter scenario.

After ordering a couple of SSRs and heat sinks, I found I couldn't find my heat transfer grease. I ordered these Banggood New 30g Grey Thermal Grease Paste Compound Silicone For CPU Heatsink Heat Sink, so I could go ahead and mount the SSRs to the heat sinks. It is a convenient offering of grease, as it can be applied and used without getting out an applicator to spoon it out of a jar or can. It can become a mess if you have to spread it around much, before assembly and this tube dispenser is easy to put it right where it is needed and if it is too thick, I just use the side of the tube and wipe it off afterward. Easy and the price is good. I ordered two and should have thermal grease for a long time. I do like it for it's price and convenience.

It dropped my temps about 5 Celsius on my CPU (overclocked fx6300 at 4.2ghz with stable temps of 32 idle and 56 under load) (with a stock heatsink) and 3 Celsius with my Radeon ati hd 5850 gpu. Works okay, good backup or main if you need it, but it's still 6-8 Celsius away from being silver 5. Be wary of the water type stuff when you first get it and mix the paste or something before getting anywhere near your pc. Extremely messy without a cleaning solution too, btw.(like keep rubbing alcohol and towels nearby)

As some other people have mentioned it is a good idea to pull the cap off and work the plunger back and forth to mix it some as it has been sitting and has settled out a bit. So far it seems to work pretty well. I had been using a generic silicon based thermal paste I purchased from radio shack, this one has brought my temperatures down a few degrees from what they were.

I havent used it, but it arrived well. Nothing was leaking.But I don't doubt that I will have to mix it once I actually use it to properly keep it from being runny. Inside the tube it looks as if the thinner liquids used for the ingredients to make this thermal compound have been separated from the paste probably from shipping, storage, etc.Please mix well before applying this compound.

I ordered this a while back and I only used a little bit they give you so much of the stuff your probably not gonna use it all but I saved around I get it four stars because it does it's purpose and it works but there I just have to much of the product left over I mean it's good for the money but there's just way too much

This is a huge syringe of thermal paste. I've used it several times already (I spend half of my work time repairing PC's), and it's barely made a dent. Application is a breeze and I haven't found the paste to be any more messy/oily than any other budget thermal paste (many of which have been much more expensive; this is 10 cents a gram). It's not high-end stuff, and it's not delivered quickly, but if you're in a position where having enough thermal grease on-hand for dozens of applications seems to be a good idea to you, you're not going to find a better deal than this one.
