The website says I should apply it in a veritcal line. Is it true?

DROP/PEASIZE METHOD IS BETTER. Try a small drop of paste on a clean-dried sheet of glass. then place another glass sheet onto the thermal paste . gently if possible. NOW U CAN SEE YOURSELF, THER ARE NO AIR BUBBLES IN THE LAYER OF PASTE BETWEEN GLASS LAYERS. but now if you try to spread the paste first and then put glass sheet on,, you will see some air microbubbles are trapped (not good). SO PEA OR LINE METHOD ARE TILL DATE THE BEST AND EASIEST.

Can someone suggest me why is this used for? i am getting my ps3 repaired at a local shop and he mentioned this name saying it costs around 1400 inr.

It is used as heat transferring substance between a processor and a heatsink. Heat generated by proceaaor needs to be transmitted to heatsink for an efficient heat dissipation. Air between the processor and heatsink cannot transfer the heat efficiently. So there should be a good heat conducting substance between them which transfers the heat and thermal paste serves this purpose.

How much is the conductivity of the compound?

It's thermally conductive enough to keep the temperature cool. Mine is always below 55 degree Celsius even after using 10 hours straight .

Can I use it for intel 4690k processor ? I have cooler master hyper 103 cpu cooler

Maybe you should not use it in laptop since it is a bit capacitive as most of tech people say. LAPTOPS HAVE DE-LIDED PROCESSORS that means their top metal cap is absent as what you might see in desktop processors(metal ka dhakkan nahi hota!) 🤔
