Or the fact that evga doens't put stupid wizards/demons/scantly clad anime women on their boxes to convince idiots that thier product is awesome.

I would assume you would spread it on the pins before installation of the processor.

I love scaring people at work with the dual big yellow books :evil: ~~~ I am wondering how you would deal with condensation issues with tempuratures that low. Even if you were able to seal the CPU to the heat exchanger, you'd...
