I just bought a

XP-90 Thermalrite Heatsink
and a

Panaflow 92X25MM Fan


I already have a retail heatsink on my chip

I would like to know steps on the best way to replace the heatsink/fan.

My concerns are,

I've heard when installing the XP-90 you have to press down hard onto it. I don't want to break anything when doing this, what should I do?

What's the best way to deal with removing old thermal paste and putting new on?

Do I have to do anything special to the fan to make it read RPMs and be able to control it?

I have a K8V-SE-Dlx. Can ASUS-probe control the fan?

Thanks
