I've meant to ask this before; anyone know if that silver filled CPU
heat sink paste is really better than the regular white silicone stuff?

As for your gap, I'd fill it mostly with copper or aluminum. That's an
awful wide gap. Or for a nonconductive heat transfer, use those white
aluminum oxide (?) thick insulators with heat sink paste.

Can you blow a fan across them? Even a small fan can take the place of
quite a bit of heat sinking.
