i've always used Quick Silver
I've been building PC's and installing CPU's since 1995 when I first got into computers.
My 1st was the Apple II C and then a Compaq 486 CPU with Windows 95A and 95B editions were around.
I've never had any CPU or other heat sink component issues ever when I used this compound and I keep a tube of it around at all times because you never know when you might need it...?

Dell Latitude D610 CPU Upgrade
I've replaced the CPU in two (2) of my Dell D610 laptops that had the Intel 1.73Ghz CPU's with these "Intel 2.26Ghz" CPU and they work perfectly.
I have a 3rd Dell D610 with the Intel 1.60Ghz CPU and ordered another Intel 2.26Ghz CPU and 19.5v @ 4.62A power supply charger for that laptop as well.
NOTE:
if you upgrade to this Intel 2.26Ghz CPU...You might want to invest in a power Supply charger that's 19.5v @ 4.62A because the stock Dell power supply charger is only a 19.5v @ 3.34A and you wont get the full performance of this Intel 2.26Ghz CPU and may even get a "Bios system Post" when you boot up your system after the installation telling you to upgrade your power supply or disable the BIOS System Post so you don't get the Post warning message.!!!
You can still use your laptop...it will just perform as if it still has the lower 1.60Ghz, 1.73Ghz CPU.
The reason I have 3 D601's is because I was just wanting to get a cheap D610 with a good screen and didn't expect the first one I bought was in new condition, It even had the clear plastic that covers the power and speaker buttons, So I just upgraded it with this 2Mb of Ram and this Intel 2.26Ghz CPU...Also ordered the 19.5v @4.62A power supply charger for it.
I bought the 3rd D610 thinking it would be just for the screen and that one is like new as well so I've up the memory to 2GMb and bought this Intel 2.26Ghz CPU for it too.
The screen on my original D610 started getting horizontal lines across the top but it stopped with only two lines after I bought the 1st new D610.
