And it costs 3 times more. Lesson learned. Dont be fooled by silver, its just silver dye.

It does the job and anyone building a rig, replacing a cpu, etc., knows how important that layer of thermal grease is for the transfer of heat from cpu to heat sink. Don't skimp on the grease.

This convenient plunger design works simply and cleanly. It's an effective product, and I would recommend using it on the CPU of ANY PC you build.

Just make sure you make a good aplication of this product on the CPU. On youtube you can find tutorials for doing this, I like to use the line method, that is, to put silver grease as it was a grain of rice, a line of 6 milimiter long by 2 mm thick in the center of CPU, thats all you need. Putting on the heatsink will handle the grease spread. Using this method I got my intel e8400 core 2 duo working at 48°C/118°F. Nothing else to say.

For the price it's pretty decent. Does what it does nicely. Bought it for a cheap socket 775 sink and 3.33Ghz Celeron D processor. Temp. at cold start is around 35C, while under load it's about 40~50C. It should keep your low end CPU nice and cool.
The tube is surprisingly small, smaller than your little finger, so that's 1.5g for ya. For this tiny thing, the shipping fee is just outrageous. It's probably best you buy one from your local hardware retail store, save the shipping fee.
