[Amps] Arctic Silver

[Mike Waters]

This is generally good advice. However, as Manfred nicely pointed out,
"...applying an ultra thin, even layer is almost a guarantee for entrapping
air bubbles. And that's definitely worse than a thick grease layer!".

I fully agree with Manfred. It depends on the viscosity of the grease,
whether it's thin enough to be easily squeezed out by applying pressure.
