Questions about Thermaltake Silent Boost
I recently bought a Silent Boost heatsink for my Athlon XP 2500+ and on the instructions it tells me to put this "High Thermal Conductivity Compound" on to the processor. I have heard that if I put cooling compound on the processor, I can kiss my warranty goodbye. Hence my worry: If I don't put this compound on the processor, will the heatsink still work properly?
If I figure out how to post images I will put one up.

Arctic Silver does void the warranty, but regular thermal grease does NOT.
If you do NOT use thermal grease, there's a good chance your processor will get incredibly hot. I'd put some regular thermal grease on it, and Arctic Silver if you're willing to void your warranty. -Lasereth

Thanks for the compliments guys! Good to know that my hours spent reading hardware reviews all day are getting put to use.
