Blade posted in another thread that they need more people buying raffle tickets! There's only 1 week left to buy raffle tickets.
I think lots of people can find $5.00 in their PayPal account to help someone like TonyH.
TrollHunters has helped make it possible to have trading of computer gear within our online community of computer enthusiasts.
I feel that we can either be members of that community, or we can be freeloaders.
So please chip in and help a good guy get through recovering from an accident. I know its not much money, but I bet it sure helps to get support from the many people he's helped!

OK, TonyH at pcabusers.net needs a bit of help after being injured in a car accident.
PCabusers have a raffle, ( sort of like the one Jungleman did to help out Tigsman ) !
Here's the link to the raffle:

I've decided to do something to help also.
I will raise the price per tube of the Shin Etsu I'm selling by $0.50 to $4.50 per tube.
[Shipping stays the same.]
I'll match the $0.50 per tube and send $1.00 per tube to TonyH.
I am also donating 5 tubes to the raffle, and I bought some tickets.
Coming back to the price increase...this will raise $146.00 which I will send to TonyH.
[$73.00 from me, and $73.00 from all of you who buy this batch of Shin Etsu]
[I have permission from Blade over at pcabusers.net to do this]
These guys have helped all of us with trolls and done a lot of work for free to help make trading safer. So lets help someone through a rough patch!
>>>Tony was test driving a car for his employeer and was hit by a dump truck. Tony was badly hurt. Also his employer, nor the driver of the dump truck, had any insurance.
Since he was unemployed during his recovery period and can now only work limited hours, Tony could use some help with living expenses. Plus he is getting zero help from any insurance. Raffle ticket are $5 each. You can buy as many as you want, increasing your chances and also helping Tony more.
You can help out a great guy, and in the process possibly win some cool prizes. <<<

I'm starting to think that the G751 is a really good choice for problem cores like Northbridges and GPU's....any chip where the surface of the chip is convex or convcave, or there is a problem with contact between the chip and the heatsink.

Shin Etsu's marking system
Red cappped syringe contains X23-7762
Blue cappped syringe contains G751
Another way to tell is by consistency:
-X23-7762 is more like grease and,
-G751 is a bit more like putty.

http://www.meetthegeeks.org look in hardware reviews, thermal compounds, 2002
http://www.ocprices.com/index.php?rev_id=128&cat_id=68
I keep reading reviews in which Shin Etsu G751 thermal compound runs cooler that Artic Silver 3 , or Ceramique...or any of the other good heatsink compounds.
I don't know if G751 is that much better, but I've got to try it.
G751 may be the best thermal compound ...and the trickiest to apply, and the hardest to find at a good price. The shipping costs as much as the 1 gram syringe.
Shipping will be included, so the cost will be $7.60 for a 1 gram syringe, and $4.00 each for additional 1 gram syringes.
Example [for non credit card PayPal and US address] :
1 gram Shin Etsu G751 = $7.60 delivered
2 grams Shin Etsu G751 = $11.60 delivered
[That beats the $12.82 for 1 gram, or $18.82 for 2 gram price that I found online.]
