    I have never seen the tape sold. The only thing I know of is the thermal epoxy that Arctic Silver sells.

    Don't think you'll find thermal tape cheap. Sorry.

    Thermal tape/paste is somewhere I don't think I'd go cheap. Cheap is, well cheap.

    That's actually not a bad price on the 3M stuff, imo. You probably won't need more than one or two squares of it.

    Okay let me rephrase by cheap I meant somebody somewhere might have had some leftover. It isn't a horrible price I am just cheap haha; guess I will order that and see what happens. Any ideas whether the epoxy will work better or worse than the tape?

    As far as I know they will both stick and transfer heat just fine. The difference is the epoxy is forever.

    ill tell you a secret... a doughnut of AS5 or any other thick thermal paste will create a vaccum seal for ram sinks. lol.. thats how i attach mine. just a dot, then stick it down, swish it around, so long as you dont touch it alot it holds quite well.
