What Thermal paste to use?

[audio king]

I use DC340 exclusively as well. If one finds that it is too viscous, it can be cut with the Dow Corning dielectric grease (I can't remember the number of hand, but can update when I'm in the shop next if people are curious).

If you decide to get the Dow Corning thermal compound, but it from someone reputable. There is a lot of Amazon and eBay that is sold in a small jar, I'm pretty sure it's counterfeit. I worked for Dow Corning for more than 20 years. We never packages it in jars except for quality control samples. It is supposed to come in tubes as shown in the pictures above.

Good luck,
Jason

Agree totally re the counterfeit products on ebay and Amazon.To the best of my knowledge,340 is available in tubes,cartridges,pails and drums,I have never seen this product sold in any other format; so NO JARS!
This is really becoming a serious issue when name-brand products are being faked right down to the packaging.Hakko and Fluke are two big players that come to mind.
