HSF Installation Question?

[karkfump]

I just installed a Thermaltake Volcano 9 HSF on my cpu today, and I opted to remove the thermal tape with a small amount of carburetor cleaner and use only thermal grease. Just curious if this is the appropriate route, since there were no instructions to speak of...and for you guys that are going to laugh at me for not going the Coolermaster route, sorry but this was just $25 and the thing is totally adjustable at the turn of a dial and 75 CFM sounded nice to me after having the retail fan on my system. I seem to be holding well, overclocked to 1.81 GHz with temps staying below 100 F.

karkfump the Volcano 9 is a decent budget performance cooler. Ya, everything you did sounded fine! <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">

Thanks guys....I read somewhere in the past week to clean the old thermal tape junk off of the chip and HSF pad with carburetor cleaner or some equivalent before installing new fan. Anyway thanks again.
