I have this thermal paste that’s white and I heard it’s bad and it’s what I use when I work on 360s, is it enough or should I order new?

if you have it, you may as well try it...

worst that can happen is that your temperatures are horrible.

The thermal conductivity seems to be about 4X worse than a good would have one.

I edit my posts more often than not

Doesn't look good but how hot is a 360 anyway?

A 360s normal temp for GPU for example should stay around 70 or like 60 and 85 is where something is starting to go wrong

Arctic MX-4 or Arctic MX-5 

Almost any thermal paste is probably better actually.

May I ask what does W / mK actually mean more than theremal conductivity

Watts per Meter-Kelvin - just thermal conductivity it is.

Ahh, so it doesn't differ depending on what like thing you use since it's Kelvin anyways

Hold up, lemme guess... Artic MX-4
