Ok guys,

I just ordered some new stuff for my system. I'm putting in some new lighting and an Arctic VGA Silencer.
Here's what I need help with:

I also ordered some Artic Silver 5 to make sure I get the best heat transfer from GPU to VGA Silencer. I am also planning to clean up the old stuff (Arctic Silver Ceramique) off my CPU and replace it with the Arctic Silver 5.

I need some help (a guide maybe) on how to completely remove the thermal paste that is on my GPU, CPU, and heatsinks, as well as a guide for the best way in applying it.

I followed Artic Silver's instructions when I applied the Ceramique, but I have noticed that some ppl are spreading it out over the CPU core in a thin sheet. How do I do that, and is it the best way?

Thanks a lot guys...
