5.0 out of 5 stars Works for me..., January 13, 2007

This review is from: StarTech.com 10g Silicone Thermal CPU Paste Tube HEATGREASE10 (Personal Computers)

I don't know of any of the specs, or how it compares to the more expensive compounds, but this thermal paste worked fine for me.

I used it after removing my laptop's cooling system for cleaning. It's a 2.8 GHz P4, so it puts out a pretty good amount of heat. After cleaning, and new thermal compound, that the CPU temp went from around 70C at full load to 55-60C at full load, so everything is working fine, including the paste.

For what it's worth, the tube looks like the thumbnails that show a white tube with a thread-on cap, and not like the large product image showing a non-resealable packet.

I got a tube (almost empty) with a bit of greasy water in the bottom. If this was ever a paste it broke down a long time ago. Stay Away!

This review is from: StarTech.com 10g Silicone Thermal CPU Paste Tube HEATGREASE10 (Personal Computers)

I wish I would have read the reviews on this product before buying. When it arried, the tube was the size as shown but there is hardly any product in it. The product is watery, which is not good for a silicon grease. I tried in vain to mix this product for use and all was in vain. I returned this product for a full refund.
