So i took it apart and replaced the thermal paste with arctic silver, and the temps are down over 10c.
I used this paste when re-seating my i7 cpu after it started to get hot during normal pc use.
Price
This is a good sized tube for a good price and works really well.
I highly recommend this product if you are looking for an affordable and high-quality thermal compound paste.

It doesn't dry out quickly and isn't very expensive so a single tube is an excellent value.

There are higher performing thermal interfaces but most of the time the expense and application effort isnt worth it for me

First off for those that haven’t built a computer before this is “thermal compound” or “thermal grease” it’s used between a processor and a heat sink heat sink fan combo to ensure that the processor can effectively move heat to the heat sink and cool itself down in the process
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
It’s main goal is to make sure there’s no air between the processor and heat sink that could “insulate” the processor and cause it to overheat
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
You apply a thin coat to the cpu before you put on the heat sink and away you go

Arctic silver has always been easy to apply and this is no different
