It can be purchased at a PC repair shop for about $1.00 for a small tube.
I always replace it on older systems when I am cleaning them.

You could also try one of the RAM testers as that could have the dual purpose of also being cpu intensive and see if the [u]heat rises[/u], etc.and http://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=35176.msg296085#msg296085
It was a matter of putting it all together, without actually being able to record the temp.
BTW darth_mikey did suggest Fanspeed, I didn’t see that before.
