Please suggest Thermal Paste for about Rs 500

[isaac12345]

Hi all,

I have an old gaming oriented machine that has a core2duo E4500. I often overclock it from 2.2 to 2.6 GHz but it seems that recently it has been heating up till till 70degrees C. I cleaned up the cooler(stock Intel) and found that my last application of thermal paste has dried out. Could you please suggest a good value for money thermal paste costing around 500 or less, preferably available online? If there's a good shop in West Delhi(near Patel Nagar) I wouldn't mind going to the shop to buy it as well.

Thanks!

How good? Can you give me any numbers on the CPU please? Like what were the temperatures before applying and after.

Intel Q8400 running at 55c under load with stock cooler of Pentium D930 and gpu [ hd6850 ] used shoot upto ~97c under load [ used some Hylanze TiM before which is no good in cooling gpu chips ] and now it's ~68c under load and Deepcool Z5 is better than Z9 though the later is costly.

Thanks! Is it better than the white coolermaster value paste? I think I had that on last time.
Also, is the deepcool Z5 electrically conductive?

If OP can increase his budget by Rs.300 then he can go with this: Cooler Master IC Essential E2 @ 750.

It's better and it's not electrically conductive.

Don't want metal based pastes. Besides Deepcool Z5 for 250 rs sounds VFM going by topgear's post.

Should've posted that earlier. Now the coupon code SNAPEBAY28 has expired.

Edit: Ordered it for Rs 300 using code NOTAIUC100

Got the Z5 yesterday and applied it.

CPU temps dropped from 85* C at load to 70* C.

GPU temps at 65* C.

Haven't checked idle temps.
