Do I remember there actually being thermal compound in the WS/PDQ, Lombard, and TL iMac? Between the CPU die and heatspreader I mean..(the black disk on the CPU)

Or was that a little metal shim with an equally thin thermal pad on one side? I forget. these G3s are pretty tame anyway.

I have three Wallstreets. There is no heat compound goo or metal shim between the cpu and the heat sink on any of them, but the heat sink where it met the cpu die was shiny, and on one of them, a lot of dust gathered about the CPU under the heat sink.
