    Nice choice on the HSF. AS5 is conductive, so be sure to be careful when applying it. Don't let any get on the mobo or any other parts. And yes, I also second a bolt-thru kit for added stability. Also consider getting Tuniq TX-2 paste, it is very, very good and is non-conductive to boot.

    I don't really know what a bolt kit is :eek:
    Anyone got a suggestion or example for me?:)

    you basically put a back plate on the back on your mobo, and screw in your heatsink to back plate instead of this cheap push in pins

    I see it looks better,
    I've just visited one in Hamilton right in my city and they're all out =(
    But on the internet there are 10 in Missisauga which is still pretty close,
    so I'll be visiting there soon =)

    But I guess I gotta buy the Retention Bracket online cus they don't seem
    to sell it there
