It seems you're considering altering your CPU's thermal paste but haven't found a suitable product locally. You have some materials available and are asking if it's safe to proceed with your current components (core i3 4150, GTX 1050, Thermaltake 550W PSU).

It's challenging to pinpoint options for online sellers based on your location. However, this product might suit you. It comes from a well-known brand and has a local presence in Bogra.

If your CPU has a weaker performance and lower TDP, you have a good cooler and no overclocking needed. You can use it, though temperatures won't be as low.

If your CPU has a weaker design with low TDP, you should have a good cooler and avoid overclocking; otherwise, it's fine but temperatures won't be as low.

The items could serve as an alternative to toothpaste, though I wouldn't expect them to be a top-tier option. They seem to match what's typically found on the standard cooler for your CPU. What's your target audience?

If you have enough air flow in case, probably even stock cooler would keep it from throttling under full load with this thermal grease. And don't ask for best paste, you would end with answer like liquid metal, even thought it is overkill. Ideal with best price/performance ration would be mx4.

That stuff would be better than toothpaste, but I wouldn't expect it to be a top choice. It seems to match what's available on the default cooler for your CPU. What's your market? I saw similar products in places like bogra in Bangladesh. It looks like I might need to look further or order online.

It's kind of hard to narrow down for online sellers given your area. But something like this may work

If nothing else, a name brand paste should be somewhat better than a case of random packets of paste. They have a local branch in Bogra.
Thnks a lot, bro
. There's a branch of ryanscomputer Store close to my house .Thank you very much..
