Seems I'm out and I'm too impatient to wait for a NE shipment. Anyone know if BB sells the goop?

The only way they would sell thermal grease is if Monster created their own line. It'd be $49.99 minimum.

If Best Buy has it, it'll be 10x the normal price.

Nice try at guessing, BB use to have the Antec version of AS, it works just about as good. Oh and it was I believe 12 a tube, so your 10x the price theory is shot to shit.


http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Dynex%26...ustomerreviews looks like they have the Dynax brand and it's $9.99, since it's just a relabel of another brand I wouldn't be surprised at all if it was actually AS.

So much anger in this one...
Good thing he's not a Jedi, we'd all be fucked!

I think I saw it there last time. They sell some thermaltake stuff, but I've never noticed any temp difference with any paste. Unless AS doesn't get as crusty in 5 years but I never use a cpu for that long.

If you are not overclocking use whatever you can get. It doesn't matter if it dries out after it has been applied , it is already doing its job.

I sill use the white grease products that have been around for 50 years. Almost impossible to apply wrong.
