Question on OCZ Vendetta and bolt-thru

[pete0921]

I would like to know if the OCZ Vendetta push-pins can be replace with the Thermalright LGA775 BOLT-THRU Kit ?? If yes it's the same with the OCZ Vendetta 2??

Can someone recommend a thermal paste that is decent price but not conductive, easy to apply?
Also, what u recommend to removal the old paste?
Thanks!

arctic ceramic has worked for years

mx-2 also claims its not conductive - as are all while pastes

I receive the Thermalright "The New LGA775 Bolt-Thru Kit"..This one doesn't look like the ones on their website..The pad on face-plate to black foam..not white with peel-off sticker..Also it come with a semi-transparent plastic shape like face-plate that fit over the face-plate...That isn't describe on the box itself nor on their website.

I would like to know do I fit this plastic over the face-plate before installing it?? also will this plastic affect the motherboard components such as static if it touched?

Thanks!
