Where can I get Artic Silver II and Super glue?

[Executor]

I would like to keep my shipping costs down. Thanks

You can probably get ASII on eBay cheap. Superglue is at a department store or hardware store. I prefer epoxy - it never has any flammability warnings on the packaging.

er, maybe im jumping to conclusions but are you supposed to mix thermal paste and superglue to connect HSF??

ASII is 6 bucks @ newegg

what's with the super glue? how about going to CVS or something?

 

[Executor]

the ASII is for my CPU HSF and the superglue is for unlocking my XP

 

[Wingznut]

How about Arctic Silver adhesive?

 

[Budman]

Wingznut PEZ,

the ASII is for the cpu & the super glue is to fill in the L1 briges on an Athlon XP.

he doesnt want to permanently mount his heatsink.

I guess you missed that video where they showed how to unlock an XP with superglue.

Ok. Got the ASII. Still need super glue. Also where can I get one of those razor knives like THG used. I like that the blade is on the front end. Should I use silicone instead of glue? I worry that the silicone will get on the L1 contacts and screw up my whole effort. Thanks.

the THG one i read teh article yeh... need that metal paint stuff too...
just read that and thought WTF, someone putting HSF on with glue?? hehe stoopid, but then read my sig

I didn't know what he was doing... I figured a videocard heatsink or something.

And yeah, it's an ok practice to use Super Glue and AS to attach a heatsink (like a videocard.) Just put dabs of glue at each corner of the processor, and AS everywhere else (but not enough to mix them.)

Don't you have a grocery/convenience store nearby (for the Super Glue)?

Fry's sells Arctic Silver, both grease and epoxy.
You can use any super glue, but the gel kind is more convenient and less likely to run down into the socket. However it's smarter to use silicone rubber sealant because it withstands heat much better, sticks well (better than thermal tape), can be sliced through if you ever want to remove the heatsink, and, unlike super glue, is commonly used as a thermal conductant in monitors and power supplies.
