Replacing HSF with CNPS 9500

[keigo_kanzaki]

OK, I'm going to install Zalman CNPS 9500 HSF. This is my first time replacing a HSF, is there anything (advise maybe) I should pay attention to?

Pentium D 930
Intel 955XBK mobo
GeForce 7600 GT 256MB DDR3
Cooler Master Cavalier T-03 casing

make sure you face it the right way, the fan pushes the air backwards, so align it with a exhaust fan on your case, umm... use some good thermal paste? try not to over-tighten it

Thanks, I've installed it, and it's performing good, and not too noisy.
