i was wondering which one would be better. im thinking pad becuz i read somewhere that if u dont plan on moving the cpu at all then pad would be better the thermal grease.
and wouldnt the grease stop working at some point and u ahve to apply more or is it the same w/ thermal pad

I don't have personal experience with a thermal pad but artic silver III works wonders.
On one system i adjusted for a friend (who had generic paste not put on properly) i was able to lower his temps by 10 degrees C (idle) and by 5 degrees C under load. just by properly applying this.
it can be found online at newegg or possibly at your local computer store...

Perhaps you could do a little searching before starting a new thread to ask the same question ?
