The subject says it, and I've found some at both
Bestbuy and Radioshack, but I was hoping to find
some that was less generic (and maybe better ?!).

try your local computer repair shops.. I do know Microcenter carries such items, but might be more of a drive than you would care for.
Next up Philcap should carry some thermal paste.

You might be able to find some at a local radio shack or best buy.

I have found them at both locations but it has been some time since I
went looking for it.

Hope this helps,

Robert

The store I work for carries some startech brand silver thermal paste. EMC Computers in Kent in the Acme plaza on 59. It's not the best stuff in the world but it works pretty well.

Thanks everyone for you recommendations.

I went to Radioshack. They had Thermaltake Articsilver.
Not 2 or 3 or 5, but I bet it will do the job.

Sorry about that, I scanned the message and did not notice you were
looking for places other than Radio Shack and Best Buy.

Where do you live?

I have some thermo paste you are more than welcome to use if you live
close enough.

OK.

I just looked closer and I missread the package.
What I bought is Artic Silver 5. This is the
good stuff.

I don't know if your interested, but I have a tube of Artic Silver 5 I would let you have, it has been used to install maybe 3-4 CPU's still rather full.

I forgot about Philcap, they are a good place to drop by and check out
to see what they got.
