RE: Supplementary heat sink?

I don't know how it applies, but when I installed a new copper / aluminum 'mushroom' heatsink on the CPU of my computer, I put on a layer of Arctic Silver and scraped it flat with a razor blade. The I installed and secured the heatsink, I got a VERY tiny 'squeeze' of compound around the edge. I never looked back OR had to touch it again. Ran quite a bit cooler than stock, especially when doing intense tasks like processing images in Photoshop.
Too much is never enough
