    Hello all! I just ordered a x7800 for my Gateway 6860FX. I was wondering if anyone had the helpful video of the gentlemen disassembling his Gateway, and installing a new processor. It was from this forum, and I looked at the above stickies, not to be found. :(

    Thanks to the rest of you for answering my PM's and putting up with my annoying questions! ;)

    I hope I enjoy this!

    There you go. It helped me a lot for just replacing the thermal compound on my CPU, and I'm sure it will help you in replacing it. Moneys a bit of an issue for me so I won't be replacing mine anytime soon

    Thank you bombshell.

    I had to scrounge up the money..... very tight here as well. :(

    I really hope things turn around, but personally I doubt it.
