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.

You sure that someone hadn't left their marshmallows in there?

That's a possibility. The 3402's did get hot enough under full load
to roast them.
