What heatsink compound have you guys been using as a redo on the singles Huh

Personally, I despise thermal grease.  I plan to replace the grease in my mini rigs with phase change material (PCM).

Some info:

Where I buy it:

Also on Newegg:

Experience has led me to love PCM for CPU and GPU cooling.  Never tried on an FPGA, but I'm definitely going to.

The feedback on Newegg doesn't exactly sound confidence-inspiring...

Dude, I use them on all my K7 CPUs, they totally keep 'em cool.
