Would this be a good thermal paste to use on a console such as a Playstation 3 Slim?

If you do it right it would, but do not use too much or it would be a big mess.

It comes with a heatsink/fan and does not need extra thermal paste because the thermal paste has already been applied to it. Stock cooler is moderately loud if your case is within 2-3 feet from your ears. Idle is tolerable. It revs up when playing games and can interfere with your speaker volumes. After market cooler is considered.

I currently use this on an AMD a10-5700 and have not had any problems with keeping it cool. I use it as a media PC so it runs 24/7.

Yes it comes with thermal paste no it isn't pre-applied. Anyhow arctic silver does a much better job than the stock cooler master paste. Not surprising since it's thrown in for free.

Yes! Be sure to use cpu thermal heatsink grease! "Caution" when using a lower grade cooler failure is at a higher risk!

it has pre-applied thermal paste on the heatsink, but I always recommend getting your own and cleaning theirs off, putting your own on, if you know how. If you are not familiar with this process, leave the OEM thermal paste in place, it will do an ok job.

Sorry wouldn't know. In the past when using a peltier cooler I would only use regular thermal paste.

Only if you plan to overclock, or use high end equipment does the type of thermal paste or "goop" make a difference. Both move heat, and the higher end stuff does it slightly better. But you don't need to put a high end muffler on a Toyota Corolla.

Yes, the thermal paste is a patch approximately 1 inch square and works very well to help keep the CPU cool.

It runs really cool and the heat sink he it pre-applied, but I always recommend a high-grade thermal compound like arctic silver.

You should try it. But when I bought this protect, I couldn't used for PS3, and computer maybe the reason was I didn't know how to use it.Then I returned it back.

I'm not sure how different the results would be compared to the slim, but with my 120GB slim it caused stuttering and freezing, so I no longer use it.

I can't really tell you as I purchased this card to get my system up and running again. It was at the time recommended by my son who does play a lot of online games, but as far as those you mentioned, I don't know. I do know it is fast and worked great in my system. I suspect that you might want something more than this though for high powered games. This done does have a fan, but not much cooling.

between the heat sink and transistor, I'm sure it could. As you may know already its used between two surfaces to transfer heat more efficiently to the heat sink for dissipation. I've used this thermal paste on many CPU's and GPU's cooling transfer solutions. It stays where its needed and a little is better than a lot.

Yeah, the less heat the better for the system. Having the fan boosts the chances of extending your PS3's life by at least 3 years depending on how often you use it.

The factory fan comes with a heat sink "square", and it will eliminate the need for thermal paste. That being said, it can't hurt to apply more, especially if you plan to overclock or tax the processor. So, you won't NEED to buy thermal paste, but for the minimal cost of the paste, and the significant dollar outlay for the processor, it sure couldn't hurt.
