I have an Intel Pentium 4 3.0GHZ CPU installed on a Intel 915GAV M/Board. My CPU was restarting and in latter days it was suddenly turning off. This I knew was due to overheating. The temp remained at 85C to 95C with LEAST LOAD. I began to suspect that if the assembler had applied thermal paste or not. So I opened the heatsink and found that there was thermanl paste, but very low in amount. I scrapped of everything and cleaned the two surface(cpu and hs) with acetone. But now I cannot find thermal paste and the computer runs for 3 secs now(due to overheating). So I bought a local CPU Cooler for just test puposses (Brand is "Sheen") and mounted it. I got a packet of thermal paste with it. The paste was White in colour form which I understood that it was Zinc Oxide based and doesnot cool as efficiently as micronised silver based t/pastes.The computer starts and temp remains at 72C with full load. Now where can I get(any shop and telephone no address please) thermal paste , rather Arctic Silver in Kolkata. I was unable to find it in two leading shops who keep almost any hardware.They see they donot know where it is availlable. Is it availlable in Chandni Chawk?
