duh! I know I have to remove that! So consensus.. I go with the stock pad? It ought to be fine? How much will that 6 rupee thermal paste help?
Sunny: got the card! Thanks, will be dispatching my card and the draft Friday.

@TechHead and Techie- Me asked same query while assembling my rig!!
And Chaos or Crazy_eddy said go ahead with STOCK HS+HSF for STOCK m/c, HE HE HE...:cool2:
Seriously, ask any of my gurus here, its more than enough for a stock m/c !!
Me feel- The stock original pad is better than the 6Re toothpaste!!
As time goes by, the paste cures itself and temps have been noted to drop by a few degrees too!! MY proccy was running cooler at the end of the 2nd week itself, that too in Mumbai Oct heat!!
My PC idled at 41/42 at the beginning, then dropped a deg in 3-4 days and then another and another... At the end of 2nd week of use, Mumbai was hotter but my pc idled cooler at 38/39degC.
Not the CPU. Stock Heatsink has grey patch located centrally on the underside, covered by thin plastic film. Peel that carefully and install with proper alignment.
In fact the original thing can take quite a bashing. With the present lower than normal temps in mumbai, Quadmaster was able to push his rig to 2.7G+ on the stock thing:clap: . But thats only for now and he will have to get his XP90 HS before the Mumbai heat+humidity begins !!
And any OCer goes for Better CPU coolers, so they invariably use the accompanying paste if provided ( as in coolermaster prods) or AS5 or similar stuff.
AS% being a silver based thermal compound, has better heat dissipation and conductivity implying transfer of cpu killing heat from core/IHS to HS is more efficient than standard ceramic paste!! Please correct me Gurus!!
In fact i distinctly remember chaos or Crazy_eddy telling me that AS5 is no miracle compound that will bring down temps by 10deg or so, it is just one of the better options available to us that will deliver a cpu operating at a few degrees cooler than standard paste!!
And dont we all love to achieve the MAX out of the the MIN we have!!:rofl: :cool2:
