    Hi all,
    Wanting to buy some replacement thermal pads and MX-4 paste. Can anyone recommend anywhere in the UK that sells them, as the only place i can seem to find them is on ebay, and theres not much on the branding of them, as i dont want to be buying and using poor quality ones.

    Any info would be pretty helpful.

    Thanks

    You can get from: Arctic Cooling MX-4 Thermal Compound | Ebuyer.com
    EDIT: Get thermal pads from ebay, I bought one more than a year ago and it still works fine: 120mm x 20mm 1.5mm THICK THERMAL HEATSINK TRANSFER PAD DOUBLE SIDED ADHESIVE | eBay you need to cut a piece the same size as your current pad.

    yeah its not so much the paste thats the hard one to find, its good quality high end pads im struggling with, in which ebay doesnt have any. I can get them shipped from the USA but the postage is ridiculous for a package that wont be more than a kilo.
