Yes it does help very much. Right now I'm also running without anything between my CPU and HS. I'm running a 700@850Mhz@1.75V, my temps are 49C at full load. When I used a thermal pad I was running 978Mhz@1.85 and at full load I was reading 52C. I'm gonna get some Artic silver2 very soon, I'm hoping to hit the gig with that stuff.
I really think u should get something to put between ur CPU and HS, I think it will help u a lot.

In the old days we would use an automotive product called 'neverseize' it was a paste full of ground aluminum. If you think your Duron runs hot at 1.8 volts try a K6III at 2.7. I'm not recommending this for your Duron,,just passing along some history.
If you have a Radio Shack close by they have some paste. It's not the best but better than nothing at all. These days I use Arctic Silver.

thanks:) the reson im runing with nothing at all is that i accadently got dirt ground into the thermal pad(long story) so i just scraped it all off.
