I got my new mobo in already! 1 Question?

[alirob24]

I am inpressed I ordered it what 2 days ago and only paid for ground shipping 5-8 days and BAM it was here in 2 days in perfect shape.....MY question is I am going to use my anthon XP cpu , It had previously had thermal grease on it from when it was used on the other mobo....Do I need to apply more thermal grease to the top of the cpu? I dont have any but I suppose I can find somewhere to get some if I need to...

If i need to get some thermal grease where would be the best place to get it?

Thanks

paste/grease or a pad? If it was a pad, get some nice alcohol or acetone (only use acetone if you can find 100%, but if you can, that stuff rocks) and with a Q-tip or hard paper tower, wipe the grease off and re-apply.
If you don't need an extra -2C on your load temp, the stuff from Radio shack will do fine--I still haven't completely used a 3gram tube, and I've done like 2 dozen Athlons now.
If you want nice stuff, Case-mod.com or SVC, Arctic Silver 5 or Arctic Silver Ceramique. I like the Ceramique better, myself, it's really easy to use (nice and thick until it gets heated up). AS's web site has a good page for application instructions.
