When I installed my retail C433 two years ago it had a white waxy thing on the HSF that I would consider a "pad". I was assuming the same thing would be on my P4 1.6A since the terminology hadn't changed. But my P4 came with some black mess on the HSF. It seemed to be a foil sheet covered in black junk that was then glued to the HSF on two of the ends/sides. I had to pry it off with a knife, and even still there was a bunch of black sticky stuff left on the HSF. I then tried acetone to get it off since that's what the Artic Silver site said to use for thermal pads, but it just mushed the stuff around and ground some of it into the HSF. Finally I used some rubbing alcohol to get it off, but the stuff that got ground into the HSF won't budge. Is this what people consider "pads" now?
