I am looking for cheap but reasonably good thermal compound that you can buy in larger quantities (not the syringe-type).

Thanks in advance!

you likely wont get good performance unfortunately from these types of compounds. You would be better off long term for the component sake as well as thermals to buy larger syringe tubes, something like IC Diamond 24.

I'd say you get better price/performance by buying multiple of cheapest brand syringe. The 5g tube every cooler comes with is good for 3+ installs. So getting 20-30g syringe you can do 10-20 installs. Plus after watching Linus' video about bulk containers, syringe is much better application method.
