That is very true on any computer that you are taking the CPU in and out. My daughters boyfriend had replaced the CPU in his "custom" computer and had used some heat sink compound that I had used from my radio repair shop days. Well the computer would run for awhile then suddenly freeze up. He ran a temperature scan of the CPU and it was running almost critical temperatures. After doing some reading up on it he replaced the compound with that silver compound and the computers temp. went down 20 to 30 degrees, into a safe area.
