MG Chemicals 860-150G Silicone Heat Transfer Compound, 150g Tube

The 5-oz tube is a five-lifetime supply for the price of one. Made in USA. This is the original, well tested industrial formula, stable for years of service. Zinc oxide/silicone pastes like this have been used for decades where hundreds of watts of heat must be moved through a small surface, with no degradation over the years. It is perfect for automotive ignition "final stages" or the motor controller in your factory or railroad. For the relatively simple task of cooling a computer chip, "silver" pastes, which are sold at high prices to dazzled gamers, will not out-perform this formula; save your money. This compound also makes a perfect high-temperature anti-sieze. I started using this formula on screw-on soldering iron tips in 1970, instead of the ineffective paste provided by Unger. 30 years later Optimol started selling zinc-oxide antisieze. Mine didn't come in a spout tube, but I apply it with a stick anyway.

Use this to apply to heat sinks for output transistors on vintage audio gear. I like the quality and density of this material over the other brands on the market. Decent sized tube, should last a while. Price was reasonable.

This paste may not be the top tier product, but it works very well. I would recommend this to anyone with older computer systems they want to rehab. My older i7 processor had dry paste on it that was 6 years old and was running super hot. After using some 91% rubbing alcohol to remove the old and apply this, the temps dropped to well within acceptable range. I did try this on a gaming PC and it worked, but not as good as some other options. My only negative is I wish there was a better cap for the nozzle for storage. Overall for the price and amount you get, you can’t beat it.

Es un poco líquida. Cumple su función. Es buena...

worked fine on my distributor module as a heat transfer and stays put.

Summary, saw maybe a 1 degree Centigrade increase in temperature in CPU, North & South Bridge on different systems over other very expensive brands (price per gram) - measured with IR thermometer; a lifetime supply for your computer (s). Like the low viscosity compared to ceramic & silver compounds. For the same quantity of "leading" brands would cost over $150.00 for the same quantity, with a meaningless difference in performance.If one actually looks at the article a comparison of 80 different brands/types of thermal compounds (search for) “80 way Thermal Material Performance Test”, An excellent review BTW; however, I do have to disagree with the rating scale ( grading method) for the following reason. A one (1) degree Centigrade change in performance cover the range in grading from C+ to A+ . This one degree C difference will cause, statistically, less than a 0.00002% change in expected service life; which comes down to if two devices were compared at the same time - the hotter electronic component would fail eleven minutes earlier than one running 1 C cooler after 15 years of continuous use; to me that is meaningless difference. . “leading brands” like Arctic Silver (9 gram tube $1.40/gram) versus MG Chemical (150 gram Tube, $0.10 per gram); the choice is a no brainer. This is based upon the paper (search for) “Modeling Temperature Driven Wearout Rates for Electronic Components”, in case the below link changes, or is deleted.http://servenger.com/Resources/Modeling_Temperature_Driven_Wearout_Rates_for_Electronic_Components_b.pdfhttp://archive.benchmarkreviews.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=150&Itemid=62&limit=1&limitstart=12

I used this between the ignition control module and heat sink on 1995 Ford pickup. No problems. It looks just like DOW heat sink compound. A white paste thin enough to work with easily. Should work well with transistors; MOSFETs: etc...Good price for this amount probably last the rest of my life.

I am amazed that first, great packaging such as not a single drop will spill. Second, it is great stuff it really transfers heat at 6.6 W/(m*K) exactly as advertised.

Some people might say the container is half empty, others might say the container is half full.Either way, the size of the container is misleading, the top of the grease is 50% up from the bottom.This is not a premium thermal grease, but it is adequate for normal use, and it is an inexpensive solution to better cooling.

Works great on Hei Ignition modules for heat transfer.

The product does not set hard and has no holding power on a vertical heatsink which was what I was looking for. Product detail should make this clear. A waste of time and money for me.

I used this to install a thermostatic control probe into a tank pocket on a thermal store.It worked excellently.Prior to this I felt the probe suffered a bit of a delay as it wasn't necessarily making full contact with the sides of the pocket. This meant my boiler took a bit longer to fire up and shut down, which became a bit of a pain (when draining lots of water from the tank, like having a shower).Now it all seems fine, and I'm happy.If I could have one thing different it'd be a screw cap on the tube. Then it'd be perfect.

Good value.
