Nice sig, But we all already knew your IQ, Thanks for confirming it though.

Same story on the greese. Don't use the white crap that comes with the module. I use a product called arctic silver II. It's a silver based material.

I first came across it when I used to overclock computers. I increased the core voltage of a AMD k6-3 to 2.7 volts with that stuff. It's a 2.2v chip, so that's a pretty sick increase. The system ran fine for nearly 2 years. The core eventually started to crumble. To get good heat transfer I removed the aluminum plate on the chip and mounted the heatsink in direct contact with the glass core. (350Mhz. running at the board's limit if 622Mhz.) The thermal paste did it's job, the core was just not able to conduct that much heat and became brittle.

Isn't that signature in violation of forum rules? People are just calling you out (88 formula) for your BS. You are taking it all wrong. May I suggest www.realfierotech.com you may feel more at home there, but even they won't put up with BS.

Most of what I know is from learning the hard way. Good information in this post, although the creator of this post cant read or understand the information that is being thrown at him, it has been informative for some others. Thanks for the info!
