PC Maintenance Cleaning Xigmatek Freezing Point G4718

Trying this new non-silicone Xigmatek Freezing Point G4718 Thermal Compound on my computer's CPU. Took out the CPU cooler for maintenance cleaning and found the original thermal past depleted. Non-silicone type thermal compound is like RM10 higher priced than the silicone counterpart. The prior should last longer (I hope) and short term performance difference is marginal.

*Now CPU is running <>10 Celsius cooler*

"Xigmatek Freezing Point G4718 Thermal Compound is a "non-silicone" grease and metal grease with very low thermal impedance and long-term stability. The proprietary- formulated thermal compound with appropriate viscosity and good consistency can be spread easily and evenly. It can be stored in room temperature without special treatment." - http://www.xigmatek.com

Xigmatek Freezing Point G4718 is one of the top performers at the Thermal Compound Roundup - January 2012:
