I happen to have this awsome Arctic Clean thermal paste remove + thermal paste prepare kit. So I will use it (btw I highly recommend this stuff, cheap and makes installing & cleaning so much easier )

Was going to put paste on the CPU....

https://img81.imageshack.us/img81/113/149d.jpg

...but put it on the cooler like manufacturer recommends doing with H.D.T. (heat-pipe direct touch) coolers. Yes there is quite a lot paste, but that just works out nicely with H.D.T. coolers (excess paste goes into all those 'holes' there, only VERY thin layer stays between the CPU and cooler base. I tried )

Thats about it. Running prime with 8 threads at 4GHz atm (previous C0 couldn't do that at reasonable volts). So far this has been absolutely great!
