Exactly. Eggs, you may want to inform your friend that less is more in the case of Arctic Silver. The idea is to make better contact between the heatsink and cpu so that heat can transfer easily. If your friend used too much, the heat will not transfer properly. Be sure to follow the Arctic Silver Instructions carefully.
