I was wondering if you think that I should replace this with Artic Silver compund....Would that be better at keeping my CPU cool??

Thanks Guys.....

I never gave the sticky crap a chance. Put the Arctic Silver on and my temps seem fine. I'm mildly OC'd now (1Ghz at 1.1Ghz) and temp rose from 39C to 43C. No voltage change needed.

I don't know how the thermal pad would have worked. If you have Arctic Silver, all the guides say "Use IT!!!!"

The stuff that comes with it should be fine. The stuff that came with my Alpha Pal is good enough for me.
