One of the motherboard webpages (Toms?) did a comparison with the
ordinary stuff and found it made not one bit of difference which type
you used, the temperature difference was within the margin of error for
the test. The fact is that there is only a very tiny amount of grease
used to fill the gap between the chip and heatsink, I would expect same
is true for most heatsink applications unless the mating surfaces were
unusually rough.

Has anyone used Arctic Silver instead of regular grease for
Convergence modules? I wonder if it makes a difference in the
compared to the regular white stuff.
