Quick question: My motherboard mysteriously died on me the other day (it was a cheap Biostar...probably got shocked...), and I'm planning on buying a new one tomorrow. I've removed the HSF from the CPU, which is still on the old board. Do I need new thermal paste/grease, since AMD recommends cleaning both the CPU and HSF of old thermal grease?
Thanks,
Zach Arace
PS Planning on buying an MSI Neo3-F. A good choice?
