Can I run the vista disc again, format/reinstall it and resize the partition to 50gb? Or can I only do that if I didn't have stuff on my second partition?

I have data on 2 partitions. Can I just reinstall windows and make the partition bigger on the first?

the review I saw says the dark night is 1db quieter (dunno if you can hear the difference), and the dark night is also 1 hotter

Which is better? They are both the same price since I have to buy a retention bracket with the S1283 anyway, dark knight comes with one..

don't cheap out when it comes to thermal compound. it could cost you your cpu. Without getting into detailed explanations, just listen to people when they tell you to scrape off the thermal compound and reapply a fresh layer when ever you install or even remount a heatsinkAzNs3nSaT1On
ok. will the stock thermal compound and heatsink be good enough for a few weeks (not overclocking with that on). or should I be safe and scrape it off, and use the arctic silver?

Thanks for all the help. If I use the artic silver will I still have to clean it off, or can I re apply more over the old? Is it a pain to scrape it off, worth waiting a week to get the new heatsink?

or does anyone know if the stock thermal compound will stick on the cpu or not? It looks pretty solid, should I just leave it on there for now?

My mobo manual is a little unclear. Do I plug in both PSU cords ATX_12V_2x4 and the ATX? ATX powers the mobo right, and ATX_12V_2X4 give more power to the cpu? It says to plug it in if you're using an intel extreme cpu for extra voltage. I have an e5200, and will be OCing it.
