Hi,
I'm about to purchase the paste, but im not sure if it is good quality. Can anyone tell me if it is?
Also, would it work for P3 Processors?
Thanks

Is that "Antec" or "Artic" m8?
Artic is the best and is fine on P3's, could not tell you about Antec though.

its Antec, someone was selling it on ebay. i searched it on google as well and i did find some stuff on it.
another question, should i scrape off the existing paste if there is any left over before putting more paste onto it?

kev, As Lazza sais artic 3 is the best, I use the antec on mine and it made a big difference in my temp (11 degree difference). How are they asking? You can buy a tube a best buy for $9.

Sorry forgot to mention that, can use it right away. Also for future reference, Use a razor blade and use a drop the size of a grain of rice and spread evenly, and dont over apply cause it can drip down and short the processor and the board.
