To those of us wanting a few degrees cooler for a bit more longevity, what are some good recommended thermal compounds? I am uncertain if the cooper heatsink comes with any. Also the eVGA instructions online don't seem to mention adding any, only cleaning the gpu with rubbing alcohol...

I have some Arctic Silver 5, is that fine for video cards?

I seem to have read awhile back that this is sometimes a dangerous conductor or something. Maybe that is just if you apply too much or incorrectly.
