Good day.
I need some info from you techies.
I just got a p4 1.6a pentium chip. I've been reading that if it has a thermal pad on it that I don't use thermal grease.
hmm, I have no idea. does that chip have that pad on?? Its black on the bottom, it seems to be a removable material.
(And obviously this is important to know before applying anything).

Also I have the p4s533 Board (Asus) with 645dx chipset, I've read that the onboard sound is good, but I was wondering how good is good, I have a soundblaster live value. Would that beat the onboard one??

Thanks in advance, and hope I can get some answers..


P.S : If someone would have a pic as to what the thermal pad looks like then I'd be all set.
