TIL those cheap thermal paste syringes from a random online seller actually work fine
I was super skeptical and only bought a 5-pack for $12 to fix some old laptops, but after applying it to a Dell Latitude from 2015, the CPU temps dropped by 8 degrees under load. Has anyone else found a budget part that surprised them?

Yeah, I was the same about those cheap syringes. That 8-degree drop would've changed my mind too.

Totally agree about that 8-degree drop changing your mind. It's one of those things where you don't realize how BAD the cheap stuff is until it fails at the worst time. My friend had a similar thing with a budget sleeping bag, claimed it was rated for cold weather. The temp dipped and the stitching just gave out, left him freezing. You really do get what you pay for with gear that has to handle stress.

That 8-degree drop reminds me of when my cheap tent poles snapped in a sudden cold snap.
