I need to get a new heatsink/thermal paste this weekend? Are there any local stores that stock this stuff? ---

Place on the corner of Berg + Orchard Park Rd is a locally owned business, kinda pricey though. ---

At work we get a bunch of stuff from a place called Great Lakes. No idea if they’re open on the weekend or if they even sell to individuals though. ---

The guy is really nice, I feel bad that it seems like they’re struggling, I’m glad to hear they’re still open… They have tons of stuff.

Be warned, I was gonna buy a powersupply from technophobia but I put it back down when they said no returns Also their main brand is Thermaltake parts which is a kinda crappy brand… and their stuff is overpriced, I believe they just buy directly from newegg and mark it up 20% or something ---

What socket heatsink? I have a stock Intel 775 one with thermal paste already on it. I haven’t even cracked the package. I too was in desperate need of thermal paste, as I misplaced my good stuff. ---

Damn, can’t help you there…I’m assuming that is a AM2 socket? If I can find my tube of Zalman thermal paste you can have it…I use the arctic silver, it spreads well and works great. I would indeed check the place newman suggested. I’ve been meaning to hit that place up. When will newegg start retail stores ☹ ---
