I mentioned that at the AMDMB forum thread where this post came from. I thought perhaps mixing it in with a small amount of synthetic oil to form a paste.

It would be interesting to see if it was possible to cheaply "roll your own" thermal paste using a bottle of graphite lube and some grease, and have it match or outperform some of the thermal pastes on the market.

That's basically where this idea was coming from. The micronised graphite lube should fill the pits and gaps pretty well.
