RAM and drive/card installation I've done a lot.

Last time I installed a CPU was a 486 DX 66 MHz, we didn't have heat sinks back then, so this is all new to me.

Ok, so it seems like I don't need the artic 5 I purchased then (but maybe I'll keep it?) and maybe I don't even need that heat sink I bought.  I purchased it because I read that the stock heat sink was loud and sucked for my CPU.  Dammit, buyer's remorse already :(
