1. AFAIK the Ice Fusion comes in a cylindrical box instead of a Syringe.

2. BTW how many time can i use a TIM. Do they have any expiry date??

3. The local TIM that i had bought had already expired from Nov 2010. When i asked the dealer about this he said that these TIMs dont have any expiry. I think that's why my CPU is heating up a lot.

1. yes it does..
2. depends on the quantity u get.. TF400 comes in 4g pack & you can do ~25 applications.
3. typical way of a dealer to cheat..

So, which one is better. Ice Fusion or Thermal Fusion?

TF400 is slightly better...
Yes they do & it will be printed on the TIM package itself..

@Megamind -ARTIC SILVER 5 @Rs. 350 is good but i think but its also elec. conductive. So, some risk is there

Ya but AFAIK AS5 sticks up to the cpu pretty well & hard to remove w/o isopropyl alcohol..

^^ regarding the third question of your I'm telling something from my personal experience :

I've used the TiM I got with Hyper 212 - bough it on 2008 and I used it two times and after that forgot about it ( though stored it really well in a plastic pack ). Only a few days ago I've discovered that I had this - so used it on a friend's pc and temp went down by 10c - so If a TiM is stored well and the paste like shape and color is still good ( like when you bought it/got it as new ) it can be used ;-)

I confirmed from Abacus Peripherals that the TIM model they have is the CM TF-400 and it will cost Rs.570.
Actually when i called their office, the man who picked up the phone was their Sales Executive and this fellow was not aware of TIMs. He didn't even know that there is some kinda paste that CM manufactures for HSFs. For a moment i felt that i wont be getting a good TIM. But fortunately i had contact of one of there executives from servicing dept. Hopefully he checked and told me that the TIM is available and its the TF-400. Very glad to know that indeed. And the best part is shouted at the Sales Officer for misguiding customers :).

BTW is the ThermalFusion-400 better or the IceFusion?

@ saswat23 - someone has bought CM TF400 @ 400 bucks a few days ago from delta peripherals - so if you can order it from there or else try MD computers and see if they can offer you a lower price tag for this - I bought TF400 on nov @ 500 bucks.

Considering the price should be a good upgrade over the stock Intel HSF .... go for it ;-)

Most probably it ain't ships with any type of TiM on a separate syringe though a little bit of TiM may be pre-applied on the bottom of Vortex 211P for the first time use.

OK, i bought the CM TF-400 for 550 bucks but still i dont notice any change in my temperatures. The temps are still around 45c-55c at stock. And the worst thing is today my PC shutdown again due to CPU Overheating. So, what's the problem actually? I am not really happy with this :-(.

^^Have you applied the TIM properly?? Which method you have used to apply??
Note:Before applying the thermal paste you should clean the surface of professor with Isotope Alcohol.

Isopropyl alcohol. :p

Go to a Chemist and ask for Surgical Alcohol. :) Dip cotton or a thick cloth slightly and clean using it.
