Alright, first of all, I didn't just save a dollar. The cheapest
newegg can hook me up for is $7 shipped, and it wouldn't be here
for at least another 6 days. <br>
<br>
Additionally, my system has been running for 3 week and endured several
marathon transode sessions without turning into an "expensive key fob."
<br>
<br>
Of course, whether I found the miracle substitute for thermal grease,
or the smart folks at intel have just managed to save me from myself is
the question I am trying to answer.<br>
<br>
It's not like thermal grease needs to be any magic solution to its
job. It just needs to outperform air by an order of magnitude or
so. Well, just about anything meets that criteria.
