The current crop of controllers are a good example of that.

Sonic tater tots don't compare to the supply model of the new controller. If Sonic is out of tater tots, you can order french fries or onion rings. Sonic makes really good onion rings. You can also go to the grocery store & get your own. Or go down to Zestos.

What's a Zestos?

To interject into this heat discussion, we have run tallons for our drive speed controllers for two years without fans and have never had a problem. I think the whole paste thing is pretty moot.
