| What cooling compound should I use? The guy at the retail store where I buy my stuff gave me a tube of copper coloured GEIL paste 5% silver 5% copper and the thermaltake silent boost I bought included a little bag of white SIL thermal compound which should I use on my duron 1800 and my friend's XP2600+barton, both with copper thermaltake heatsinks?

| I would use the geil paste. I doubt it will be a lot better than the white stuff, but it should be at least a little better.
