The thermal grease was very easy to apply on the CPU and CPU cooler, making the transference of heat even better.
Second stage of my PC build included installation of the following:
CPU: INTEL Core2Duo E6850 3000 LGA775 4MB ATX
Motherboard: ASUS P5K Premium/WIFI-AP Socket775 FSB1333 ATX P35 RAID PCI-Express
CPU cooler: ZALMAN CNPS 9700 LED
RAM: KINGSTON 2GB RAMKit 2x1GB DDR2 PC2-8500 1066MHz nonECC 5-5-5-15
Harddisk: WD Raptor 74GB HDD 10000rpm SATA serial ATA 16MB cache 3.5" internal RoHS compliant
Soundcard: CREATIVE Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Gamer
All that is missing is the graphiccard.

The CPU cooler is quit big, here seen with the RAM kid installed.

The forum poster who described burnishing the CPU with thermal paste also wrote that he was trained to lay down thermal paste on the heat exchanger in a spiral pattern, so that any air bubbles could escape. The more I thought about this, the less I liked it. If you pushed a deformable, convex surface into the center of the spiral, perhaps it would chase any air bubbles around and out of the maze as you compressed it. However, the poster described a procedure of placing one edge of the heat exchanger in contact with one edges of the CPU, and gradually lowering it until the two flat surfaces were parallel and separated only by a thin layer of thermal paste. In this context, wouldn't parallel lines of thermal paste, perpendicular to the initially touching edges, release air bubbles better? For the spiral approach to work, I guessed that large air bubbles might burst through spiral lines, and that smaller bubbles must not matter that much.
The spiral approach also had the advantage of more even thermal paste distribution if I squeezed the stuff out of the tube too quickly and ran out before completing the pattern. All the paste would be more or less evenly distributed about the center point of the heat exchanger, so if I just placed this on the CPU, parallel, and pressed straight down, I'd probably get a fairly even distribution of paste. If I drew parallel lines of thermal paste and ran out, the distribution would be lopsided and harder to squeeze out consistently.

Eine weitere Glanzleistung von Medion ! Um bei diesem Notebook den Ram zu erweitern, ist fast eine ganze Technikerstunde notwendig, ausserdem muss der CPU Kühler entfernt werden. Andere Notebookhersteller bauen da eine Klappe ein, der Ram ist dann in 3 Minuten eingebaut.
Weiter so !
Would said Rube Goldberg one-size-fits-all clamp straddle the aftermarket posts added to the motherboard, centering the central screw over the CPU, also as promised by the micro-printed illustration?
Yes again.

Crikey, it's a monster. hopefully nice and quiet too. Will probably have a slow-moving 120mm fan attached.
That looks like a very nice CPU cooler, but I ended up not using it. (See www.flickr.com/photos/jjldickinson/8617119739/.) Maybe I can use it for a distinctive hat this summer, when the weather heats up.
My entry in the "All I want for Christmas" contest at DPChallenge. Squeaked in with a 5.53 on this one and a mid-packish placement. This is the Thermaltake CPU cooler and video card for the new PC I am in the process of collecting components for.
