Bulk TIM

[tjrose91]

looking for  a decently rated and cheap TIM for my side gig buying used PC lots and reselling them i always feel better replacing the TIM on the CPU and possibly graphics card but some the the cheaper ones like
hy 510 is less than 2 w/MK

Arctic MX-2,Arctic Silver 5,Noctua NT-H1 are good

Noctua sells the NT-H1 in 10g tubes. I've used it almost a dozen times and havent even used up half the tube yet. 

 

Gamers Nexus as an example I believe buys their tim directly from a manufacturer.

I used arctic mx-2 for almost everything for years in hundreds of computers, graphics cards, motherboards, electronics,... that needed pasting/repasting. The only time I've ever used something more high end was if specifically stated, was given the paste to use, came with something or was in a very thermally constricted device that would need all the help it could get (mostly thin and light laptops or those garbagely ventilated cheap prebuilt gaming systems).

65g for 30? Damn that is a steep price. I get mine for 10€ usually.

that's probably for a 3.5 to 4 gram tube, this would be 16x that amount

It's currently out of stock in the shop I buy it from but it always stays under 15 for a tube. I just get the generic one never heard of a x year edition. You can also always just get some from the chinese markets. Same stuff far cheaper.

fear of using Chinese products for all i know it could be grey colored toothpaste and getting a 20 gram tube off alli express for $25
