thermal paste does help reduce procy temps by a fair margin.the cheapest thermal paste that u sud buy is CoolerMaster for bout 150-200 bucks.

If its some old proccy, get cheapo thermal paste for around 10rs.

Yes..thermal paste is important..even i removed it once...while cleaning out the heat sink unit. (Infact I cursed..the assembler at that time...saying..what the heck is this glue)...then I realized...my CPU was over heating..so I pasted CoolerMaster paste back on...!

If you have some high-end processor and you plan to do some OCing then go for a good Thermal paste. Otherwise buy some cheap thermal paste as suggested by pathik..

@pathik, do you get thermal paste for 10bucks?!

 

[hellgate]

Have any of you guys tried that el-cheapo thermal paste with success ?
I think that cheap thing will work as a barrier between cpu heat sink heat dissipation. Also reduce the life span of th processor.

I would recommend paste like arctic silver.
