You could look for something known as Arctic Silver 5. But for overheating, you may want to look at the fan speeds of the processor as well and make sure its running at the correct speed. Try cleaning the fan. Arctic Silver 5, is very well known. I am not sure if you will get it here. But you do get other heat sink pastes.I had bought a small can/bottle of silica gel/heat sink paste compound a long time ago. Dont remember where.
Yeah. I too was thinking about the same. But are these pastes for a long term use? I read a lot of articles regarding pastes/pads and some of them said pastes should be strictly used for a short term i.e. if you're going to change the CPU frequently then one should use pastes while if you're not going to change the CPU for a long time then pads should be used...
