    Indigo Xtreme TIM

    So i was looking for this stuff on the EU market, and for the life of me i can't seem to find it other then a random shop in the UK.

    Any of you peeps found this stuff for sale in the Netherlands?

    Whilst i currently have Arctic MX-3/4 (which are damned good on their own) the Indigo Xtreme has the edge.

    So yeh, the question stands, where in the name of Zeus' butthole can this stuff be found in the Netherlands, or is this going to be one of those near US only items?

    I intend to combine this with 4 Scythe Slip Stream 1900RPM 111CFM fans * 4 with a Corsair Hydro H100, this should be good

    The thing about Indigo is it's really expensive and not the same as normal TIM. You get one or two uses per pack normally and it's a one time thing. Normal TIM is one time, yes, but you usually get several uses from even a small tube.

    It also applies differently, you have to set it right, throw on the heatsink, but not all the way. Get it to reflow, then tighten it down.

    Here's the guide for a 775 socket, which is the same for most anything, but yeah:

    Seen em, and generally i tend to go with what's the best on these areas, still doesn't change the "I WANNA I WANNA I WANNA" factor.

    Otherwise the Arctic MX-3/MX-4 would suffice more then enough.

    A note, I didn't use it on this system. I used uh.... one of the Shin-Etsu types. Forgot which, would need to look at my order paperwork, wherever it is.
