The 'Black Stuff' is a thermal strip and requires no extra additives

aarrrgghhhh!!!!. My advice is this, when you get a heatsink, scrape off that cr!p stuff thats stuck to it with a stnaley blade, but be careful not to cut yourself or to scratch the base of the h/s. Then get yourself some Artic Silver II, Im sure A1 sells it. Follow the instructions at www.articsilver.com and youre away. Much better than that horrible pad. And your CPU temps will thank you for it aswell.
