    Useful if you plan to build your own desktop, and a little goes a long way. I still have half a tube of the older version that's been sitting in a box for the last couple years.

    Cheap enough for the slightly better thermal conductivity, but having a good heatsink is more important.

    Is this stuff better than the paste that comes with most heat sinks?

    Typically, yes it is better. However YMMV.

    Definitely worth the few bucks--it's a great product for that after-market heat sink.

    Suckered out of $5? I think not, #8. This stuff is DEFINITELY worth it. If you don't already have some, I'd recommend a tube.

    It's a nice product. Though, if you already got some, don't really need to buy it. It's not a deal as it comes up from time to time around this price.

    #8 has no idea. don't expect huge results but this stuff will make a few degree difference.

    Hmmm. Heat sink. So that's what this thing's for.

    #10, I was already suckered and bought it a year ago, but not again. This stuff makes no difference compared to the cheapest thermal paste out there. No, not even a "few degree" difference. And if you think a few degrees is significant, then you're a sucker on that count as well. And yes, I used it correctly.

    #12 - stop asking everyone if this is a good dildo everytime this deal gets posted.
