0.5g "soft pack" of thermal paste (also known as heatsink compound). Commonly used for conducting the heat between processors (and other chips) and the heatsink.An economical way to get a small amount of heatsink in a packet without having to open (and possibly waste) a whole tube of the stuff. Why not buy a few of them with the rest of your order and keep them handy just in case?When using thermal compound (also known as thermal grease or thermal paste) to attach a heatsink to your computer's processor- or any other chip- it's essential to use the right amount; too much is as bad as too little. Use just enough to do the job and ensure it's applied evenly. The thermal compound is used to transfer the heat from the chip to the heatsink, so it's essential that this is done properly to ensure that the chip doesn't overheat.
