hey...
i'm in the middle of building my pc and ive ran into a snag.
ive managed to install the Mobo, RAM, PSU no problem but im having problems with the CPU.
so far ive opened the hatch and easily slotted the Chip into place, closed it and then secured it with leaver. now i'm looking to add the Thermal paste to find that there isnt any in the retail box the CPU came with.
i've noticed that on the bottom of the cooler that is supplied that there is a series of grey matted block stuff (which i havent touched) but im not sure if this is pre applied thermal paste.
i have bought a 2.66 Ghz i7-920 Intel processor (retail) so if anyone else has experience with installing one of these could you please tell me what i do regarding the thermal paste ?
Cheers
