Ha those switches are nothing. :D
Just go thru the manual a couple of times and you'll be ok. ;)
Either Arctic Silver 3 or Evergreen TherMagic are the best heat transfer compounds around atm. :)
Good luck with it. :thumb:

Shoot, I did not order this :( I was thinking this is not necessary.. oh well, I will go to best buy, circuit city, or just compusa and see what they have. Is this a must?

There are those who will tell ya that it's not but I wouldn't gamble on it, it would be a shame to have to pull it apart again due to a cooling problem. ;)

Speaking of those who will tell you that its not a must, i ran an atlhon XP with the stock AMD heatsink and the pink paraffin compound, at temps of about 30C idle and 50C load. Of course putting in proper thermal compound did help. So its not a must, but its something you would want to do for sure.
