How come other Manufacturers don’t have an issue with heat??

[QUOTE="bfx, post: 214512"] Saw the pics mentioned above ROFLMAO ! There's enough compound there to do 50 to 75 cpus. At least. Don't believe me? Go to Artic Silver's site and call up the installation links. Typically you use a dab the size of an uncooked grain of rice. The compund is only used to fill micro grooves and scratches so there's an even contact across the full area with no micro gaps. While it is heat conductive under those conditions greater thicknesses become heat insulators. BTW - Artic Silver is pretty much the de facto compound for builders. It costs a bit more than other brands - but not that much - and works a LOT better. bfx [/QUOTE]
