Oh yeah, you may need a pair of pliers to squeeze the pushpins...I couldn't have done mine without it. As a side note, prime has been running for just about 8hrs now @ 3.6ghz and is still going strong.
    Awesome guys, I appreciate the input. Do you have any favourite brands as far as the ceramique is concerned? I'll use some on the CPU as well. I was looking at the mini 40mm fans on this page:

    We have the $5 to $23 fans there in that size ... I like quiet fans, but long lasting as well. Is 40mm too small? I usually oder from that site so if you find a professional brand of ceramique there, i'd love to know the link. Looking forward to the tweak, and thx again all.
