Hello,
Anybody want to volenteer their favorite thermal compound for use at the heatsink/package interface? I like Thermalloy non-silicon based product - though it's no fun to apply :(

I use silicone based stuff I grabbed at Radioshack, it works well and it's easy to use. Good ol' white paste.
Greatest general paste in the world:

I'm partial to the Ceramique. It probably wouldn't last too long if you use it on many amplifiers, but I've attached and reattached at least 15-20 heatsinks to computer CPUs and GPUs and still have plenty left for several more. It is quite cheap for what you get, and it performs above all others. If you want thermal tape, Chromerics makes the best thermal tape around.
