P4 heatsink problem

[DMitchell25]

My P4 - 2.4G Intel processor's heatsink has a square of thin lead like heat transfer material on it. Should I leave this on, and use it, or remove it and instead use my usual silver heat transfer compound. I will not be o/clocking very agressively.

ive heard your supposed to use a pad for the p4 because of the large surface area. the grease isnt designed for the gaps that an area that large creates.

how do you shoot the devil in the back? what happens if you miss? -verbal
