Is this thermal paste good enough?

Good day to all. May I ask the thermal enthusiasts here? Is this Thermal Paste good enough? Or better at least than the stock thermal paste on my Ryzen 5 2600? I'm currently having 75°C max / full load on my CPU while using the stock cooler.

 

I bought this thermal paste a while now, for just only $6. Is this good enough to replace my out-of-the-box pre-applied thermal paste on my Ryzen 5 2600?

 

Thank you in advance to you all. God bless!

Youre getting charged a branded thermal paste price for a generic thermal paste. Damn.

 

It should be the same honestly, but fresh thermal paste is always an advantage compared to a dried out ones.

That's not bad for a stock cooler.

A better cooler would get more results than a tim change.

Unfortunately I still haven't got any funds to replace this as of the moment. But does changing my old thermal paste to this new one at least improve it in a couple of degree-celsius?

Unfortunately, yes. But it's the cheapest around me with a decent packaging. But will it be better than the stock thermal paste?

I couldn't say.

But I think you should be happy with a temp of 75C under load, not anxious.

Okay, man. I'll just wait for other commenters too to finally decide if I should or should not at least for the moment. Thank you by the way!
