And yes, I know, putting RAM and video cards isn't the big deal, you only need to insert them in the DIMM or the AGP ports and that's it. Thermal Compound, I once had to help a friend apply some of it to a X360... pretty messy, ugh. It’s a PC Chips MoBo with a Celeron @ 2.81GHz, LMAO.

It's practically a necessity at this point to ensure proper thermal conductivity between the CPU and the heatsink. Installing video cards and such is a honestly a piece of cake in comparision to reapplying thermal compound to your heatsink.

I think it's a nVidia based one (256MB). Do you think I should use that thermal thing in my CPU, too? … damn, I’m gonna install a video card this monday. I think it’s a nVidia based one (256MB).

Do you think I should use that thermal thing in my CPU, too?
