after searching long and hard for a pro cooling compound in nehru place i finally came across this, i was actually looking for arctic silver thermal compund which is a highly acclaimed cooling solution, but it seems it is very rarely available in delhi, in fact most vendors don't even seem to understand "thermal compound kit", and those who did thought it to be your generic white paste(rs 20 for a med sized bottle)
anyway after i finally found a shop specializing in pro cooling, i bought the kit for rs 250, it was small injection type pack.
now for the performance- 1st of all IT STINKS!!!!, i applied it directly onto the CPU and GPU and ran benchmarks , and the temp. instead of falling rose about 10 degrees, i waited and waited but no change, i found the manual said to apply a plastic sticker on the CPU and then apply the paste, common sense told me it wouldn't do any good, but i still tried, the result 30 degree rise in temp!
so finally i had to put the the paste back on, it was at this point i realized that the content is far less than what you think it is , once you rip off the cover from the injection body, u find it's only 1/4th filled, and this thing costs 250 bucks ie abt 50 times costly from the generic ones.
so conclusion stay away from it, i say stick to bigger heatsinks with copper heatpipes from coolermaster or vantec.
as for me i'm trying my hand on liquid nitrogen or aqua cooling.

I have to say many of the spammer commments (and poor English) will be entertaining, but I hope the blogging party is doing a good job of blocking them as a whole.
