I'll mainly be using this system for gaming and other applications. I'll also be putting in a ATI 9800 video card. All of this will go into an Enlight 7237 case. 2 questions:
1) when you order a CPU/heatsink/fan combo, does it already have thermal grease on the CPU or do you need to do that yourself?
2) Does UPS require a signature upon delivery for the free 2 day delivery?
I'll be ordering from googlegear. Thanks

IIRC, Intel heatsinks come with a thermal pad, not thermal paste. If you really want to overclock, go with some nice paste like Artic Silver, but at stock speed the pad will do fine.

I think UPS does, but you can request that UPS leave all packages at your door. You can call UPS customer service for the details, but you can waive signitures.

Hey there, I have a similar order in with Googlegear that I placed last Saturday. I can't comment on the delivery because I haven't received my order yet either. ;) But you gotta love that free second day delivery! I ordered 7 different parts - all of them with free 2 day delivery & no tax - and at great prices to begin with!!! Love it!

Anyhow, your retail CPU will be coming with a HSF unit - but there will be no thermal grease applied. And....I wonder if it even comes with some? A friend at work got a retail P4 2.4 earlier this year, and it did not.

But, like Dalhectar said, if you aren't OCing...the pad will work fine.

excellent. i think i'll be ordering soon. I'm wondering what the chances are of getting my stuff by friday if i order today. pretty slim i would imagine.

if you are a gamer you don't need xp pro just get home to save money
