i bought a new heatsink (zalman) for my athlon xp 2200+. would you recommend i use the grease that it came with or buy a thermal pad? ive heard the pad is for more permanent (long-term) jobs and the grease is for "testing"?

where can you buy thermal pads in the uk?
 
i have a zalman hsf too. i use the artic silver 3 thermal grease cuz i would want to reuse it later. plus i think thr grease does a better job?
 
thanks for the quick reply.

is artic silver 3 the stuff that comes with it, zalman csl 850, or something else?

if so, where can you buy it?

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(

Just did some crude math and I apparently joined almost 18yrs ago, how is that possible???
