well, im ordering an artic cooler 64 pro to bring down the temps of my 6000+ b/c its fairly hot with the stock heatsink (duh).
i know it comes with some pre-applied thermal paste/pad thingy on there... but i am a TOTAL noob when it comes to this stuff.
here are my questions:
should i buy some more thermal compound like artic silver 5 or artic cooling mx2? and will this help that much?
what do i need to remove the existing thermal compound that come with the stock heatsink which is now all over my cpu? and how do i do this? is it as simple as grabbing a paper towl and wiping it off?
