    Hello assemblers! Today i have quite an odd post for something i need to purchase, but let me explain

    I live in Calgary AB, and because of this, i do not have any local shops that supply thermal paste, or at least good quality thermal paste for that matter, I've checked around and ill i could find is thermal paste with less thermal conductivity then Swiss cheese.

    I have 7.50$ CAD that i am willing to pay if someone has some slightly used, very high quality material, (perhaps Arctic silver 5) tubes of thermal paste.
    The 7.50$ would cover shipping and the price of the product.

    You might be asking your self "why doesn't this idiot hop online and buy a new tube of thermal for 16$~ ??"
    Answer: I only need to re-thermal one of my xbox 360 development kits, and they have very tiny CPU surface areas on the chips, so not much thermal paste is needed, spending 16+shipping would be such a waste of money..

    If you have thermal paste but there isn't even enough in the tube to cover a grain of rice, it isn't much use lol

    Thanks for reading! if you got exactly this, feel free to comment down below or PM me, thanks!

    You can get small syringes or even sachets of thermal paste. The small Arctic Silver syringes are around $7.50 US and they're well worth keeping in case you need to do something else, e.g. your laptop is getting a bit hot.

    Alternatively, try a radio supplies shop or even ask a TV or computer repair person if they'd let you use a small amount.
