My llama roommate (rayma2) lost the heatsink grease for our other roomie's new computer. Anyone have a good household substitute until we get to radio shack?
I wouldn't put anything extra on. If you absolutely have to use the computer, then perhaps underclock the processor a bit and put the heatsink on bare.
Doesn't everyone have some silver goop antiseize compound laying around?
I have wondered if this isn't the same stuff as that other silver heatsink compound. I don't think it really is, but a comparison would be interesting.
There are also copper anti-seize compounds at you local auto parts store. I've never tried it and this is a use at your own risk, but it would probably work.
