My PSU fried and seems it took the MB with it

I ordered a new Gigabyte board and was wondering what steps should be followed installing the processor into the new board.

Mostly I am concerned with the compound on the E6600 and cooling fan. How do I remove it and put on new compound properly? Do I indeed need to do this or can I reuse what is on there now?

Thanks for your help

Lenny

Yes you should clean off the cpu and heatsink with isopropyl alcohol. Then when applying new thermal paste, you can either put a dab in the middle of the CPU and let the heatsink spread it out or you can spread it out yourself then put the heatsink on.
