[SOLVED] A bunch of cheap decent paste?

[Insane Potatoz]

Hey everyone. I flip PCs and use thermal paste a lot. I’m running out of my usual Arctic stuff and need to buy a bunch more thermal paste.

Basically, do any of you have any recommendations of large amounts of decent thermal paste for cheap?
Looking for around 30-50 grams for less than $20

I do not recomed this to be used on pc-s but if you realy use a fu*kton then go buy some thermal tape. Its the last resort. Also try out the thermal pastes that are sold in bulk, buy a sample and test the conductivity, they are usualy garbage but there are probably good ones

(Pardon my english please)

Thermal tape? I can’t say I’ve ever heard of that. If it’s not very good and only a last resort I’d really rather not buy it.

Its used in built in electronics like robotics control units, it has a tendency of becoming powder in like a year or two

Thermal tape
Featured snippet from the web
Thermal adhesive tapes are high performance thermal conductive acrylic foam tapes coated with a well-balanced double sided acrylic adhesive system. They are designed to provide a preferential heat transfer path between heat generating components and heat sinks or other cooling devices.

Didn’t you say in the first post it was bad on PCs?
I’d really rather stick to thermal paste. I’m more comfortable with it.

I've used this before for some systems (it was the only stuff available at the time and I needed something ASAP). It's decent, no MX4 but far better then stuff like toothpaste.

Awesome thanks! I just need something that will do the trick. Nothing special as I'm pretty much out of MX-4 and Arctic Silver. Not really one to spend a bunch on thermal paste.

For non-gaming PCs the cheap Thermaltake is fine. For gaming and encoding I use Grizzly Kryonaut 11.1g for 27$ from ebay. Its the best and cheapest highest-quality thermal paste. My temps dropped 5C by switching from Arctic Silver 5 to Kryonaut.
