Thermal paste
Has anybody heard something about silver cream?
if so, Is that good?
I have used the paste of the thermaltake volcano12 and is really crappy, I wanted to use arctic silver but I can´t find it in my city, the nearest thing I have found is that paste

Do you have a link for it?
Also you may want to look for Artic Silver Ceramique' or even Artic Silver 5....both of them are very good.

Ask Zardon and Veridian3. They are both in the UK and must have a good idea where to get this stuff. There are many others in the UK that will know.

Finally, I got my only two choices:
Titan TTG-S104
Stars-700
Which will do the best job?
PS: or I should use the silicon paste (sil-more) that comes with the thermaltake volcano 12?

I honestly couldn't comment on that as I have never heard of either of those. Personally I stick with the artic silver route as they have been easy for me to get hold of and they offer excelent performance.

I have found some benchmarks about all this pastes and impressively the thermaltake one is the best¡¡¡¡¡
so I have removed my heatsink and I have seen that there was paste spread everywhere so I put so much, I have removed it and I applied a very thin layer in the cpu and the heatsink and now it works like a champ, I have reduced the temps about 4-5 degrees and now I´m capable to reach 318fsb @ 2.2v

if you get one of the artic silver pastes you'll see your temps come down another 2-3c
Glad its working better for you now
