Warning: thought those cheap thermal paste tubes were fine...
I used to buy those little unbranded thermal paste tubes for $2 each on eBay. Figured it all does the same thing, right? Well 6 months ago I put one on a client's Ryzen build and their temps were hitting 90C under load. Repasted with some Arctic MX-4 I had and it dropped to 70C. Anyone else had a bad experience with mystery thermal paste?

Bought some that looked like toothpaste and acted like it too.

That's exactly what I got from a brand that supposedly "organic" and "natural." Looked like mint gel but turned into this weird gritty paste that wouldn't dissolve no matter how much I swished. I wonder if some of these companies are just relabeling industrial grade stuff meant for cleaning rather than actual oral care products. The texture was so off I actually checked the label to see if it said "not for human consumption" somewhere in the tiny print.
