ncidentally, I repaired a P4 motherboard yesterday which used Artic

necessary. The stuff down the sides was still fluid, so at $10 for 3.5
grams, I saved the excess.


Heh...reminds me of a previously repaired (not by me) QSC PLX series amp
I opened up and scraped about a pound of white paste out of it.
