Pros

This product eliminates all the guesswork. No mess or smearing, easy to apply, reusable.

Rebuilt my laptop after a motherboard failure due to heat. I like to change out parts and see if my computer runs better. Handle it very delicately prior to installation; and 2. Ghz to 3. Ghz on an itx board.

    I was looking for a replacement to paste because id like to take my pc apart more often to do deep cleanings then simply blowing out dust with all my parts still together
