help needed ,suggest a hdd ,ram, thermal paste

Hello everyone,

I need a replacement hdd 1 tb 5400rpm for mylaptop that is hp dv6 6165tx please recommend one which would be compatible and i dont want to purchase a shdd becasue of low budget

also i require a 8 gb ddr3 1333mhz ram,original hp one doesnt work anymore , i already have one stick which is corsair 4 gb ddr3 1333mhz,but now its very expensive to get one ,
i saw a stick Transcend 8GB DDR3 1333 Laptop RAM for 3200 inr,will it work fine with the corsair one

and also recommend a thermal paste good one

if the ram is not good than recommend a 4 gb ram which is good but not very expensive

Here are a few HDD to consider:
WD 1 TB Laptop Internal Hard Drive (WD10JPVT/WD10JPVX) - WD : Flipkart.com

Hitachi Travelstar 1 TB Laptop Internal Hard Drive (1TB 5400 rpm) - Hitachi : Flipkart.com

For RAM to work, it really comes down to whether the timings are same or not. On my own Laptop(HP Probook 4440s, I use 2 different RAM brands & each stick is 4GB 1333MHz). Just ensure the timings are same and they should work fine.
Can you post the link to which transcend stick you were considering to buy?

*www.amazon.in/Transcend-8GB-DDR3-1333-Laptop/dp/B007ZYFPMW

this is the ram i am considering

and i already have corsair value select 4 gb ddr3 1333mhz CMSO4GX3M1A1333C9

and the drives you suggested which one is better?

[MENTION=304362]Uchihamadara[/MENTION] Go for the Western Digital drive as I feel their after sales is one of the better out there. Regarding the RAM, the product page don't mention timings

Seems you have to test it to find it out. I guess returning should be possible if your item doesn't work?

Also, regarding thermal paste; Something like this should work fine: Amazon.in: Buy Cooler Master IC Value V1 Thermal Compound Online at Low Prices in India | Cooler Master Reviews & Ratings

about this ?
Transcend JetRam DDR3 8 GB Laptop DRAM (JM1333KSH-8G) - Transcend : Flipkart.com

or suggest one under 3300 inr and reviews of the thermal compound were not that good

Pastes: Cooler Master - Thermal Paste Comparison, Part Two: 39 Products Get Tested

[MENTION=304362]Uchihamadara[/MENTION] So I found the product page for your present RAM on FK & it seems the Transcend RAM has infact different timings(and might run into issues).

Wasn't able to find RAM with timings 9-9-9 in your budget other then this: Kingston ValueRAM DDR3 4 GB Laptop DRAM (KVR1333D3S9/ KVR13S9S8/4) - Kingston : Flipkart.com

Cooler Master IC Value V1 is good enough for laptops..i am using that one only, and i am not facing any problems

so no 8 gb ram than ?

You can start looking too. I only found this: Corsair DDR3 8 GB (1 x 8 GB) Laptop DRAM (CMSO8GX3M1A1600C11) - Corsair : Flipkart.com which is way outside your budget

nope to corsair than .thanx a lot bro

I'll look a bit more and see if I find 8GB with appropriate timings. But I just couldn't find any in Stock. And most seem way too over priced for no apparent reason.

no issue i will go for 4 gb than.
