    Just got an X9000 for my rig and I was wondering if anyone can point me to a guide for proper CPU installation in the M570RU. I have never applied cooling compound and set a heat sink before and I am worried I will screw up and fry my new chip. I will be grateful for any info you got. Thanks!

    It seems the consensus of the amount of cooling compound that should applied to the CPU be the size of a grain of rice. Can anyone confirm this?

    I now realize this is the wrong forum for this thread, as all my answers have already been addressed in this thread. Can a moderator delete this thread please?
