Thanks Extreme Gamer & MegaMind for telling.

availability of Arctic MX-4 is an issue - the best you can get is Arctic Silver 5 ( electro cionductive - correct me if I'm wrong ) or Tuniq TX4 ( non electro conductive ) - all of them should cost around 500 bucks

^wow! good detailed explanation, really helpful.

How about this one: Noctua NT-H1
actually my friend is flying back from US on 2nd Sept...so I can ask him to get this.

^^Get MX-4...

 

[Extreme Gamer]

No. Get PK-1 if money isnt an issue. If you will not use aluminium HSF you can also consider IndigoExtreme.

If you are from Delhi you can get CM Fusion for 400 INR from Nehru Place. I purchased recently from there.

Hi guys, I would be going to buy TIM locally tomorrow from Delhi (Nehru Place) and most probably I would only find Cooler Master Thermal Fusion or Cooler Master Ice Fusion. Which one is best among these two? and is Ice Fusion non electrical conductive as well?

^^Get thermal fusion 400 - 450/-

Ice Fusion and Thermal Fusion both are non electro conductive and between these two CM Thermal Fusion is better

went to Nehru Place and was unable to find Cooler Master Thermal Fusion, only ICE fusion was available
Also most of the Tuniq/Arctic Silver TIMs are showing 'Out of Stock' on ITDepot website.

Can anyone planning to go to market buy it for me if they find locally? I would pay the price+shipping charges in advance.
Or any one having extra willing to sell: *www.thinkdigit.com/forum/bazaar/145865-tuniq-mx3-tuniq-mx4-arctic-silver-matrix-arctic-mx-2-arctic-mx-4-a.html
