Hi guys,the first parts are already coming in for my first FSX medium-priced machine. I have one question - do I have to buy special thermopaste or something when I put together processor and fan or is the processor already fully ready? Would be great to know so that I can launch the build this weekend :-) Cheers,Marc

Hello,I just wanted to say to everybody here thanks! I have now the system up and running and overclocking the processor was pretty easy and is now at 4Ghz instead of 3Ghz. I also have the PMDG MD-11 and all smooth (besides that it is the most complex plane I ever was sitting in :-). Thanks again!Marc
