Thermal pads are a compromise between heat conductivity and ease of
use. Thermal paste can be applied in a thinner layer, and if done
uniformly will therefore have less thermal resistance.
You're good.

It seems that thermal compounds are not all the same and I was
wondering which type is best to use for transceiver applications? I
understand Elecraft uses thermal pads these days, but what type of
compound was used prior to the switch?
Just purchased a produced called MX-5 from Arctic which is commonly
used for CPU applications and was wondering if it can be used for HF
transceivers, kits etc.
