Very easy to use, and it works well. used it in this laptop while I was upgrading the CPU.
Good quality compound from Arctic Silver.Bought mainly because of the actual thermal compound, but thought that the cleaning kit is a nice plus.Cleaning kit came in handy when having to reassemble the cpu/cooler into a new pc chassis.
Used it on my PS3 mother board that just overheat and die. Love it. Applied this one and got it back to work.
Hey, it is Arctic Silver 5 Thermal Compound and that's why I ordered it. :-)
This was my first time applying thermal compound to an aftermarket heatsink (I always used thermal pads before) so I decided to go with this kit in case I needed to remove it because I put too much or put it on the wrong way (which I did a couple of times). I tried the "Line" technique that Arctic Silver suggested on their site for Intel i7 CPU's and it became a big mess when I placed the heatsink on top of it and moved it around a little. The kit has enough thermal grease and cleaning liquids to apply to at least 10 heatsinks (I know I wasted like 4 applications because I put on too much and it spread outside of the heatsink after moving the heatsink around).The price for shipping may seem a little bit high but it still comes out to less money then it would if you buy it from any other major online retailer and you wouldnt get the microfiber cloth from other retailers.I would highly recommend this kit if its your first time playing around with thermal grease, and a tip from me:The best way to apply the thermal grease is to put a tiny little dot in the middle of the heatsink (not too much or it will go outside of the heatsink when you mount it on top).
