I don't understand why the zinc oxide laden silicone grease supplied with
the heat sink wouldn't be the correct thing to use on the heat sink.
BTW, my heat sink didn't come with any, didn't say to use any so I didn't.
It is a 1 gig AMD Athelon with a heat sink approved by AMD for this
microprocessor. (of coarse) It has been this way for over 2 years.
(there is a white thin hard flexible layer of plastic on the heat sink
touching the copper part of the microprocessor.)
