    Question Question on the heat sink mod

    I had an earlier version 1.0 board and did the mod just by putting screws in place of the springs, and didn't think any further about it. Now I just received a new version 1.1 board for another build, and after reading some recent posts, still have a question.

    I understand that I can remove the small white pad in the center of the central heat sink. However, can or should I remove the brown pad over the heatsink for the voltage regulators - or are those necessary for electrical isolation? Can I use a conductive thermal compound there?
