I am uncertain if there is any thermal grease that comes with a new Athlon 64 3000+. If so, I'll be saving a few bucks, but I'm getting ready to do my final order for all my computer stuff, and was just wondering if I could save 5 bucks by not ordering any grease.
As you can tell, money's tight if I'm wasting a thread on a 5 dollar item. If there is grease with the processor, is it any good?
Also, I was looking at different brands of grease, and the Arctic silver stuff goes for way more money. It looks to me that the chemical composition of the grease is similar in the bargian items. Approx 99.9% silver solution. I don't see why paying for a name is good, unless there's something extra I'm missing.
Sorry for writing the book. I know, it's just grease... you've dealt with it a million times, but I can't quite find the answer to my questions.
