This is a great choice of thermal paste if your looking for a paste thats both cheap and also performs well. I tested this and its better then AC5 by about 4-5C, applying it was very easy and it wasnt runny at all. It is recommended to not store this paste in a cold area before applying because the paste can be difficult to squeeze from the tube. So warm it up in your hands before using and it will work great. this paste is my new go to paste!
