@lanodan It's hard to see in the image just how stupid it is, but the packaging for Noctua's NT-H1 paste is 157x70x30mm

For reference, a 3.5" HDD from WD is 147mm x 101.6mm x 26.1mm.

Noctua's packaging is so oversized that if you shorten it 1cm and widen it by 3cm it's basically the same size as an entire 3.5" hard drive, and they use that massive amount of volume to ship you nothing but 3.5g of grey paste. (plus the syringe containing it)
