Hi guys, I completely ruined my computer today, so I need some new thermal paste. I have never bought thermal paste before, is Arctic Cooling any good?

It works for all processors right? AMD/Intel? I have an AM3+ CPU

Yes, any thermal paste works on any cpu. Just ensure you clean the old paste off properly, with isopropyl alcohol and a lint free cloth.
