It looks like Amazon & eBay are the places to check for these.  I included the StarTech because the reviews on using it seemed a lot more user friendly & less messy. The reviews also on the Artic 5 are also very good. As you can see below. Good luck! This is a review for  Artic 5:

When i built my system i used the stock gel attached to my amd 64 heatsink.running at idle my computer recorded temps from 46-49 C and rising. At first i got a couple of case fans but still i had the same problem.According to amd these temps are normal but i heard of people with systems with much lower temps . i was afraid my system might shut down under heavy gaming.So i went out and bought AS 5 , i can tell you it is the best investment i made on my system. After removing my heatsink i removed the previous thermal gel compound and adding this , then i put my system back together and started up and .. Wow my idle temps dropped to 41 C and stayed there ,after playing half life for 15 minutes i found the temps only increased to 45 C.there is a break in period for the gel which is 200 hours, after that the gel is optimized and artic silver claims the temps will drop even more (4-12 C).It has solved my heat issue, for the cost under 10 dollars.I guess i don't need watercooling after all.Even if you aren't into gaming
this will protect your computer processor and help it run more efficiently.
