Pros: - The thermal paste is cheap!
- Comes in a huge pack, get this and dont worry about getting new thermal paste for a long time!
- Works great for cooling the CPU.
Cons: - Some of the tubes had some air stuck in them, so my workspace became a total mess when I tried to use them.
- It's not arctic silver, but it does a pretty good job.
Bottomline: Get this if you're looking for easy to get cheap thermal paste. Works in my PC and it did fine for Xbox 360 repairs as well.
I use this compound a lot and it does the job fine.
It may not be the best out there but for the price you can't beat it.
nice compound

Pros: Does the job
Compact
I have used it with CPU-s, GPU-s, Chips of all kinds and Thermal Compound conduct heat verry well
Cons: It's litle more fluidal then others, but it does the job
Sometimes, when you want to close the tube with cap, cap simply pop-out... than you must to injest tube a little...
Other Thoughts: It's not same capacity in all 10 tubes
Bottomline: I has share with my friends five pcs... 10 pcs... more than you need... 2 for home... 2 for job... 2 somewhere... 2 in tools bag and there is 2 more :D
You have to be carefull with the cap it aint olding very tight could easily leak
Good stuff

Pros: this stuff works good enough, ive seen worst stuff for alot more money. the red rubber caps work good and the compund it easy to apply from the tube. i fix alot of computers and i use this stuff all the time and so far so good. I would not use it in a server or a high end gaming machine. Works goof on CPU, heatsinks, Ram coolers, I even used it to fix a xbox360
Cons: none yet
Other Thoughts: good stuff for a good price. does not get hard when the cpu gets hot and it is not a sticky solution so it has to be decend compound
Bottomline: You get 10 for the price of two
Makes a difference! Worth the hassle!

Pros: Removed the cooling block from my CPU -and added a whole tube of this stuff.
Core temp reading dropped from average 31c standing temp to 26c
Used on GFX card (with new fan shu 8945) and average standing temp dropped from 67c to 54c
Also used on other chips on motherboard that just had cooling fins.
1 tube does one chip
Cons: 10 - what will you do with the other 6?
But seriously - seems to be only neg for me
Other Thoughts: Easy to use - read up online before messing with cooling devices and wear sku 5451 to avoid frying kit!
Bottomline: Easy to use, cheap, makes a noticeable difference. Why not buy!?!
