    I'm looking to buy some online, cheap, for a HP G60 laptop that overheats and turns itself off. I only want to use if for F@H (see my sig).I'm replacing the fan and I suspect the paste is partly to blame, there's probably some fluff too.

    Any recommendations between the tub/sachet/syringe/applicator methods ?

    Thanks

    This will give you an idea of the differences in pastes.

    Pretty hilarious, I have an old laptop that overheats pretty sure it's due to needing thermal paste replaced but I would love to try mayonnaise etc.
    Although question is how long would the mayonnaise last :D
