A white silicon heat sink compound is available. Make sure you get one
of a reputed maker. Very little of this is to be applied to the bottom
of the heat sink bottom and top of the CPU. Rub the heat sink on the cpu
very gently. This helps it to spread evenly. Mind you, it is not exactly
a heat conductor, but is a thousand times better than an air gap. So
JUST fill the air gap. This improves cooling. I have made some power
electronic circuits, and had to go into details of heat transfer from
device to heat sink. The slogan for heat sink compound is LESSER THE
MERRIER!
