Price: $69.98

Arctic adhesive. I believe BigFoot sells it too.

I buy a lot from bigfootcomputers.com since I'm in Canada as well.

If I were you, get the SP-94. It just looks much more "Heavy Duty" compared to my SLK-800 and 900's. I just finished installing it, and my CPU is about 2-3 degrees cooler.

If I were you I'd go with the newer SLK900A, I have one and it works great with a 90MM quiet fan.

the sp-97 for amd is going to come out soon, so if you can wait a few weeks, i would get that. if you have an intel, i would definitely get the sp94
