Thanks for all the tips...I'm off to the store to pick up the supplies now.

Just a couple more quick questions that I've been thinking about:

-If my first try doesn't work (i.e. the temps are still high) & I suspect that maybe I've put on too much or too little, should I try again? And if I do take the HSF off again, should I clean it off again and start fresh?

-Do I have to wait after reassembling for the AS5 to "dry" or anything? Or can I boot 'er up right away to see if it works?

Thanks again!
