A friend can give me some of this for free, he gets it for really cheap thru work and has an extra tube. Wondering if anyone has experience using it, it has solid reviews on the best buy website. The cooler master is sold locally for only 6$. I only have experience using Arctic Silver and the other option is to order this online, but it would come in a couple days after the CPU I ordered. Not a big deal, but if the other 2 options are solid then I would go with them.

No overclocking, one cpu ordered is core 2 quad q9505 to replace 6600 and I will also reapply to my i5 4460.

Ive used the CM paste on a few builds, mostly old replacements.
Its okay, its not a bad paste by an means, but its nothing special either.

If you arent going to OC or use a high TDP processor (like a 9590) it should be fine.
