Alrighty, all of the parts I ordered finally arrived so I'm starting to put them in.
As I was getting ready to install the new regulator, I noticed the old one had a clear sticky goo on the back of it. I presume this to be some sort of heat sink compound to help transfer heat. I happen to have some Silicone Cooler Grease from Startech so am thinking of using that.
I've replaced cooler paste on a couple of CPUs in my lifetime but never a voltage regulator. Is there any particular way it needs to be applied? Is Silicone Cooler Grease OK to use on voltage regulators? My searches on the topic have not found much.
