I am getting Arctic Silver 2 Thermal paste and a 600mhz Celeron FCPGA on friday...I have been worrying about the application of thermal paste on the cpu because of my 566mhz celeron dying because of corrosion. I was running Windows 2000 and forgot that it had a cpu idle built in so the cpu got to 14c while I was at work (actually last I saw was 8c) and when I got home nothing worked but the computer was on. I removed the cpu and there was water from the peltier and corrosion on the chip. For this cpu I put regular thermal paste all over instead of just on the die. I didn't experience any problems that way with my other celeron but I wonder if that is what made it that much more cooler and develop water, maybe if I put it only on the die everything would have been fine? I don't know, someone help me out on this. plz
