I guess i should have asked this: Should i try to run the x2 without any thermal paste?
good find. newegg and zzf are selling it for $11 w/ shipping. i guess i'll buy it from svc.com, thanks!Originally posted by: modempower
$11? Youre crazy. Svc.com has it for like $5 or $6 with free shipping.

so i can run my amd x2 3800+ w/ the supplied HSF, no need to put the gel, rite? alrite, will not overclock the cpu for now, that is, until i get the arctic silver.Originally posted by: DrMrLordX
Even the pad that comes on stock AMD heatsinks is fine(It's Shin Etsu, and it works well).
