Thermal Paste

Okay guys, since i'm planning on resurrecting my old Celeron D 331 (i already have all parts prepared, just need to assemble them), i remembered i need to buy some Thermal Paste.

 

Since it's very cheap, price doesn't matter, so here's what i think is good (i have absolutely no prior experiences with thermal paste):

 

Thermaltake TG-2, 4g

 

Alpenfohn Schneekanone, 1.5g

 

Thermaltake TG-4, 1.5g

 

And here's the link for every thermal paste in the shop i'm buying from.

 

 

Now, i only want it to last me for atleast 3 uses, since i think i'll also need to change Thermal Paste on my laptop, since it shuts down after 30~ min of Dragon Age: Origins (i'm using Core2Duo P7350 2.00Ghz and ATI Radeon HD 4650 1Gb), and that's while i'm using a notebook cooling pad... I think that probably the Thermal Paste on GPU and CPU has dried out, so it'll need changing (i first need to find a way to open it)...

I just checked it. It was available in one shop, but now it's sold out, and it seems they don't plan on restocking their supply, ever... :(

Damn. What about MX-4?

Nope :( Also checked some forums, it seems nothing form Arctic Cooling is available... :(

 

 

The best one from that shop is the Prolimatech PK-1

I see. It says it's a CPU paste. so can it be used for a mobile GPU in laptops O.o

 

Also, will i be able to use it atleast 3 times O.o

Yes, CPU Paste is just different terminology for Thermal Paste or TIM. It looks like a small amount based on the picture so order some extra just to be sure if you need to use it multiple times.
