    Just ordered a Firepro M6000 that should be here in a day or two.

    I was just wondering what type of thermal paste I should get for this job. Been a LONG time since I've done any computer repair work.

    When I checked my bios I am already at version A09. Is there anything else I need to do before the upgrade?

    Avoid the ICD stuff, those are made from feces and will scratch your precious gpu silicon like hell.

    Thank you for the reply Mobius :) I just went to the local hobby shop and all they have is Arctic Silver 5. Will I be able to use that?
