Just my .$02 and just a dab of grease will do to,, a lump might be to much and not transfer heat as well as just a film... and that stuff has legs... it gets everywhere on it's own,,, and if you ever read the Material Safety Data Sheet warnings for that stuff, you would know it is worse than used diesel oil for getting on you and causing cancer later. (I use disposable gloves when using heat sink grease, but I use it for working with semi-conductors carrying 15000 watts for six hours , and buy it in a 4 ounce jar) -- ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Mandrake HowTo's & More: http://twiki.mdklinuxfaq.org
