I was kinda hoping my premium paste comes with some cleaning solution for the old paste. That means good ol' water and paper towels will have to do. I'm gonna be really interested in my CPU temperatures. I'm getting second thoughts about using my cute little low profile cooler for a high clocked 6 core.

You should use alcohol rather than water.
Keep us posted, when you have numbers.

No alcohol anywhere. I remember my last cooler or thermal paste came with a handy solution. Anyway I don't believe it will make much of a difference than maybe 1-2°C. If I get temps like 70-80 with heavy load it's probably the undersized cooler.

I like that building a PC always reaffirms my atheism. No real god would allow so many tiny screws in such a cramped space.

Cooler sits and Mainboard is in. Let's get the plugging started.
