I got it working on my motherboard using Arctic Silver 5. Seems to be

What did he use, some latex caulk? <lol>
Heh heh. He used that old style white compound, but he used about a pound
of it. :)
Here's a strange thing. On his Gigabyte motherboard, the CPU climbs
steadily updwards (it's at 64C now sitting in the CMOS) with the same
compound and heat sink (I have the heat sink running from a power supply
connector, since when I attached it to the motherboard, the CPU climbed to
82C in about a minute and shutdown.) I've updated the BIOS, but I'm
thinking the motherboard must be doing something weird to be heating the
CPU this way. I can't check the voltages, as it just says "OK" for all
voltages instead of showing actual numbers. Clever.
