Thermal paste prices
Thermal paste is small but easy to forget. Fresh paste, cleaning supplies, and careful remounting help keep the CPU cooler decision clean.

Buyer rule
Choose by cooler install plan, CPU heat target, application comfort, cleaning supplies, whether thermal pads are also needed, and how many systems will be serviced.
Risk
The common mistake is reusing old paste or remounting a cooler without cleaning the CPU and cooler plate properly.
