Normal
This last week I was recently working on my PC and switched my video card over to a graphite pad, so my PC is now pasteless. Getting the pad to stay in position on a bare die was a pain and I remembered the conversations here about using a bit of paste to hold it still so I thought I'd share my experience.If you have a sheet from panasonic, I've found the easiest way to install is to cut a pad a little larger than you need, and tape it to the heatsink with small trips of electrical tape on two edges/corners. No mess and re-usable.
