the cpu cooler comes with pre-applied thermal compound on the heatsink. use some coffee filters (dampened with 99% rubbing alcohol) to clean the surface of the cpu.
things you should purchase if not already obtained:
CM 212 heatsink
99% rubbing alcohol
coffee filter (or something that doesnt breakdown)

Haha, I can't believe I didn't notice that, I guess I was too tired. I was up for 32hours, I get a little tired at that point.
Do you mean longevity? I've had lots of q6600 cpu's overclocked for years with fair sized voltage increases, they've yet to die. It's a free performance boost, just takes a little know-how.
Yeah I meant longevity, sorry. I've heard that it can severely impact the useful life. However, after doing some research I'm fairly certain that I can manage to keep it alive with "a little know-how" as you put it

Getting that phenom black edition and not overclocking is like buying a Ferrari and never going above 40
There are tons of guides for that cpu
That's sort of my problem, now. I'm seeing a bunch of different guides and opinions on how to overclock it. I would like to get to 3.6 without increasing voltage, but there appears to be multiple ways to do it.
Do any of you have any input on what would be the least risky way to increase to 3.6? Thanks again!
