Just the best! 17

I have the thermal paste used to cool my processor. Temperatures I have not measured with the 3 year old paste, but the case has been very hot, so I've been looking for ways to improve the ventilation.
And a very favorable opportunity for a better cooling is to apply new thermal grease. New CPU cooler or case fans for "airflow" in housing costs as much more. I did not expect much, but given the price and the many good reviews I thought to myself: It's worth a try.
The old paste on the processor was easily cured. The new paste is supposed to not harden, which is at least on the packaging. But I can say nothing.
Applying just went out of hand. With the syringe a little drop in the middle of the processor and that's it. If someone empties the entire syringe on a processor, there is a huge mess because the excess weight then squirts on the sides. And much help in this case is not much, because too much thermal paste also is bad for heat conduction again. The paste is distributed by the pressing of the radiator body. The 4G in the syringe range determined for 3 more processors. Just a pity that no guidance on how to apply the paste, included, but what's the Internet.
The case is now no longer hot and the fan is quieter. This probably means that he no longer has to rotate so strong. The with "CoreTemp" (freeware) measured temperatures are also absolutely fine for my processor, the installed components and the ambient temperature. The temperature displayed in BIOS is top. The concrete values ​​but I will not specify here, since only the comparison with the old temperatures would be useful and that I have not measured. In any case, my PC is now running again quieter and cooler. And all because of the new thermal grease.

At a Glance:

+ Thermal paste does its job
+ Not electrically conductive, prevents shorts
+ Much paste for further uses usable
+ Resealable, durable, does not have to be used immediately
+ Price / Performance
+ Good to dose / apply
