I always clean it and I like to vacuum the dust out of the fan/heatsink
also.

You are correct, in that you will have to remove the heatsink and then
the cpu. You may as well take the opportunity to reapply thermal
compound. On i last pc I didn't as it was the same cpu and heatsink, but
on this current pc i did reapply thermal compound. Can't say as I noticed
a difference either way.

Thanks, Carl. I ordered Arctic Clean & Arctic Silver with the hardware
anyway, so I might as well use it, see what all the fuss is about.
Actually, it was delivered today (to my P.O. Box), I just haven't had a
chance to pick it up.

Thanks!
