Well it depends. Radio Shack is probably the silicone based type. If the other is also silicone based it doesn't make any difference. It's awful hard to give a recommendation between Radio Shack and that other stuff without knowing what the two contain.

I just built a system in January using a XP 1700 on a Epox board and even with Artic Silver couldn't get it below 46C at idle. So I don't know that I would mess with it if I was you.
