Solve : Thermal pad?

1.	Solve : Thermal pad?
Answer» My new motherboard has just arrived and im am concerned about the thermal interface material. From what ive read you either need thermal greese or a pad, I am not sure wether my PROCESSOR CAME with a thermal pad/what it looks like. On the bottom of the processor there is a little gray SQUARE that is soft, slighty spongey to the touch. Surely this has to be a thermal pad?Yes it is, but you can Buy Better Stuff if you Really want to Its Called ARCTIC Silver Any good Elcetroics shop WOULD have itphew, that jsut saved me a trip. No thanks, im happy with the one i gotJust remember to use one or the other - never both.
