	[title] Installing the heat sink
-	[* black] If you have tested the card and it POSTed ok in the BIOS, or you want to install the heatsink before testing:
-	[* black] Apply some thermal grease (thermal compound etc) onto the GPU chip first.
-	[* black] Squeeze a *''very small''* amount onto the chip, roughly the size of a grain of rice, and spread it out with the corner of some cardboard, a credit card, or plastic spoon.
-	[* black] Keep spreading it out only using more grease as needed, trying to keep the layer very thin with even coverage.
+	[* black] Apply some thermal grease (thermal compound etc) onto the GPU, RAM, and any other place that is required.
+	[* icon_note] Use only a small amount of thermal paste (roughly the size of a grain of rice) and spread evenly over the surface using a piece of cardboard, a credit card, or plastic spatula.
+	[* icon_reminder] If re using thermal tape or pads that were saved during the disassembly, place these back in their original position
	[* icon_note] Arctic Silver or Arctic Ceramique are popular choices, but any generic Thermal Compound/Grease will work.
