I have decided to play around and switch fans on my celeron chips. I have a Retail fan on my 300a and some generic dual ball bearing fan rig on my 333. Here is the question--- the dual fan setup has this flesh colored tape for use as paste. I believe I should replace this with paste? Right? Second, I don't want to sink $9 and wait a week for Artic silver right now. The local PC "ripe-off" shop has some no-name paste in these little 3cc syringes for $3.99. I know, I am almost half way to my artic silver. But, is no-name thermal paste better than tape?

Yes, no name paste is better than tape.

Yea, buy the paste and rip off that tape crap, it will work better.

Usually the stuff in syringes is the silver paste is it not?
I could be wrong though.
Got a radio shack nearby? They have paste for a couple bucks.
