## Questions & Answers

**Q: How long will this item last for a computer repair technician? Will it finish fast? As the tube looks so small.**
A: The tube I ordered is 20 grams, 3" long and 5/8" wide. If used correctly it should be good for at least 36 instances to seat cooling fans on processors, maybe more.

**Q: How often should thermal paste be replaced? I have a i7 i have had it about 4 years? wondering if it needs to be done. No temp issues with cpu.**
A: I agree that unless there are temp issues there is not much need to replace the paste. I can't speak for AMD users, but if you have an Intel CPU then download their Extreme Tuning Utility (free) from their site. It will show you the temp and perform a CPU stress test as well if you'd like. This would give a good indication of a temp problem. I ran into issues with my 6 year old i7 CPU running over temperature. Saw that it was maxed out at 99C degrees a lot of the time (the utility's highest mark) and thermal throttling kicked in essentially dropping my 2.8Ghz CPU down to anywhere from 1.3 to 1.6Ghz. Finally bit the bullet and replaced the paste after reading some tutorials. Now when stressed at 100% for 3 or 4 minutes it raised the temp from 43 C degrees to no higher than 84 C. As soon as the stress was stopped it immediately dropped to 43 C degrees. CPU rate stayed at 2.8 or higher the whole time. And this was right after I applied the paste without a burn-in period.  It was like having a new computer for me. I do recommend the Arctic cleaning solution pack (2 bottles: 1 cleaner, 1 purifier).

**Q: Operating range? Us it 240c or 300c?**
A: Are you serious? I am running at 24c currently and max out, fully clocked and pushing it hard in the mid 80s-90c. 240c-300c will melt anything, your cpu and gpu will have been fried way before you hit those numbers! Arctic says the paste can take it but I don't think your hardware can. It is great paste and I recommend it but if you're running that high, there is something wrong!

**Q: What is the shelf life of the product once opened ?**
A: As long as you put the cap back on after using its good till last drop. I bought mine nov 2017 and after using for different reasons it's still as fresh as when I got it (still have abit left while typing).
