FrostyTech has posted a review on the OCZ Quicksilver Thermal Compound.
If you´ve ever installed a fancy new heatsink on your processor then you know thermal compound can be very influential to cooling. If no thermal compound or thermal pad is used in the interface between a heatsink and the core of a processor, improper heat transmission may occur. If that happens the heatsink may over heat (if it is overclocked for example), or it may just run hotter then it really needs to.Read more
Even a very small amount of thermal compound can affect the transmission of heat between the surface of a processor and the base of a heatsink. In fact, manufacturers generally recommend only a small amount of thermal compound ever be used. Too much thermal compound can actually make the situation worse, but for the most part is just a waste of the material.
