    hi there..

    just wondering if anyone has actually done this yet. the bios update (a02) has been released, so it is possible...

    i've never replaced a cpu before in my life (software developers dont need to worry about hardware lol)... so i'd really appreciate any tips anyone can give me. in particular i'm worried that i'll either put too much or too little thermal paste...


    btw if anyone who actually knows what they're doing is planning to perform this upgrade, would you be willing to take photos and write up a tutorial for all us other i9400 owners?

    cheers!
