One 3g tube should be enough to use in several applications.

Arctic Silver 3 is sold in 3 gram and 6 gram tubes. The 3 gram tube contains enough compound to cover at least 20 to 30 small CPU cores, or 7 to 12 large CPU cores, or 3 to 6 heat plates.
At a layer 0.003" thick, the 3 gram tube will cover approximately 18 square inches.


You can find info on their web page...

I recommend about 12 grams. It makes for some tasty eating.

Generally though a 3 gram tube's probably enough to last you for a good bit.
