I like to have some paste on hand. This paste has been a tried and true product over the years. Bought a big tube, for cheap, on sale. It is a good product. No qualms about using it. If you are looking for better, or best, there is now an MX-6 heat paste. V good too. Note that there are 3 or more paste types/ formula's being marketed. Some are conductive! Be warned. Do your research. (don't want no short circuits! ) Safe building, all!
