Heatsink compounds

Not my speciality (speling?), but I believe if you put a thin smear on you
should be fine. If you put too much on the heat transfer actually starts to get
worse! 

I don't think you'll need to get the calculator out to figure out the optimum
desity though. As long as you don't go nuts with a great big spatula life
should treat you, and your CPU just fine.

Cheers,
Paul.

The truth of a proposition has nothing to do with its credibility.  And
vice versa.
