Not what you might want for a production wb, but for testing and one-ofs it should work just fine.

I actually used RTV Industrial silicone when I tested it. Worked just fine. That is what i am using on all my test blocks and so far so good. I am not sure about using it for sellable blocks, butthat woun't be a problem for a while anyway.
Got this new block up and it is doing rather poorly. I think I may have it mounted wrong. Dosn't look to square sitting on the socket. Thats what I get for doing it while the power was out and using a 1 candle power candle.
Going to remount it and try again.
Right now it is 11C over water temp with the XP1600+@1554mhz 148FSB 2.05Vcore. Which actaully isn't tooooo bad but not as good as I am aiming for. 27C water, 38C CPU under SETI load. it can do better.
