So I was looking at this article: http://
I saw that the aformentioned Pad seemed pretty great except for the fact that it needed to be heated up to lilke 140 degrees. Even so, I wanted to use it with my pentium G3258. But I wasn't sure if it would be compatible with the temperatures. Will it work?

Darn. Is it possible to put the cooling pad on the CPU without putting it in the motherboard and heat the pad up with something like a hair drier, or to pre heat the pad seperately and put it on the cpu after the pad has been heated?

Right if we go by the manuals 58C then it is well within what your cpu will stand.
What will happen is that the first time you power on the cpu after using this and fitting the heatsink is that the cpu temp will rise to about 58C then the metal pad will liquefy and from then on proper cooling will occur and the cpu temp will be kept at a minimum.

BTW can I use aluminum heatsinks with the MetalPad? I heard you can't use aluminum with the liquid metal (non-pad version)

I'm pretty sure it has an aluminum base,try googling copper based cpu heatsink and you will probably find one that will work possibly from ebay,i'm from UK so cannot easily access American sites.

In the end, I decided to go with the liquid metal pad. I ordered this cooler: http://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B000JSFZPS/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1. I got it a bit cheaper, at 33.49 used, just without the thermal paste. I haven't installed it yet, so I may update later. For future reference for viewers, if you are looking for a non aluminium cooler, get a Zalman cooler. On Newegg they have generally good reviews. When ordering them, I recommend ordering from amazon used.
