Hi, if you are building your own system, you absolutely need thermolytic
grease between the CPU and fan.  The goal is to have an extremely thin coating of
it that is applied homogeneously across the surface of the heat sink.
You do not want too much of it, any clumps, or any areas where it is
missing.  They sell tubes of it at Fry's for like $2.95.
