^^One word of warning for folks ordering 12gm tubes... if its opened and then not used for long, it dries up and stops being usable. Happened to me more than once. This is the only reason i prefer 3.5gm tubes.

In that case I would like to change to two 3.5gm ones.
 
@Quad, the safest exchange rate to use for calc is 48 - my purchases this year have all indicated an ROE of 47.xx.

@Kumar, once I place the order it will take 7 business days to reach me and 1-2 additional days to reach you.

About the paste drying up, well, the last 2 tubes of AS5 lasted about a year and they never dried up - they were always kept in my refrigerator :P

And updated order list:

1 x 3.5gm tube for Devansh

1 x 3.5gm tube for Karan (do you still want if it's not free? )

1 x 3.5gm tube for Saiyan

1 x 3.5gm tube for DaMonarch

2 x 3.5gm tubes for wolfff

1 x 3.5gm tube for Kumar

1 x 12gm tube for dekruzader

1 x 12gm tube for Switch (unconfirmed)

1 x 12gm tube for Quad (unconfirmed)

1 x 12gm tube for kandissa

1 x 12gm tube for SoulFire

1 x 12gm tube for Smith (doesn't matter where you stay )

1 x 12gm tube for dolphin

1 x 12gm tube for meeeee
 
Ok then,1 3.5gm for me...any idea till when can i pay u? 'cos ill be leaving for college by saturday...
 
So its gonna be Rs 375 max not a single penny more than that.

I confirm for the 3.5g Tube.

Do pm me abt the payment procedure.

Why i asked abt the cost comming down as u will order so many tubes

you wont be paying shipping from US to India for every tube it will

be for the whole thing , so the cost per tube inclusive of shipping might

come down , thats why i asked.

I can make payments only on saturday.
 
^^ Even if it were to cost a measely $10 for shipping, thats $1 per tube, making it $6.95 in toto, which is Rs.319.7 @ Rs.46/$ or Rs.326.65 @ Rs.47/$.. :P

Rio has already mentioned shipping charges to anywhere in India (other than personal pick-up in Blr of course) is 50 bucks. So, in effect u r paying Rs.325 (already mentioned by Rio again).. So Rio is making a profit of Rs.5.3 per tube.. damn.. he said he isnt making any profit. liar liar.. :P
 
The cost per tube in my original post is based on me ordering 10 tubes - I will post a revised number when I stop receiving requests and get a revised shipping quote from sidewinder. I hope you understand there's no personal gain for me, only risk, and I'm doing this to help the community :)

Bear in mind that the shipping costs are minimal for packages under 7 lbs. Beyond that, shipping will increase significantly... that's just the way shipping fees are structured in the US. Anyway, no worries... I happen to know the guy who runs sidewinder and I trust he will do his best to keep the shipping cost low.

@Mask, my guess is average shipping cost per tube will be $0.50 but I'll know once I get an official quote from them tomorrow.

I will PM everyone payment options available and the revised cost (hopefully it's the same or lower :P) once I place the order with sidewinder.
 
I have Artic Silver 2 as well as 3 and 5 ... I got my Artic Silver 2 about 10 years back and it is still fine to use. I store my Artic Silver tubes in a Plastic Tupperware box in a lower compartment of a fridge with the tip of the tubes pointing down - I read this in Artic Silvers pages - as pointing the tube down keeps the oils inside the tubes away from the tip.

I used the Artic Silver 2 recently on the Heat Sink of a GFX card and it was still in good condition.
 
Can someone please contact Switch about whether he wants an AS5 tube? I'm placing the order in 1 hour...
 
I have 2 12gm Tubes, Untouched, still lying around :P.

Just finished my first 3.5gm Tube :rofl:...
