i have few questions about installation this cooler

the copper plate i get, do i have to put thermal paste first on processor then put the plate on processor and again put the paste on plate or there is other way to do that

and second question

my graphic card is on the picture, and do i have remove little thing on right with asus on it and it looks kind of a cross, actually do i have to remove everything before puting new cooler

You do need to clean the old paste off and re apply fresh yes matey. did you get an instruction manual with the cooler as it is best to follow that.

Whats under the asus part of the heatsink will need something fitted on top (like the ram does also), if you have not purchased the cooler new and dont have all the extra heatsinks then you will need to buy some before this can be fitted.

i havent bought it yet and now im just looking for some information because i heard that manual isnt very good, and im not very experienced with installing coolers

about the paste issue, there is cooper plate that comes with cooler and its supposed to be placed on processor but i dont know , where exactly i have to put paste, on both processor and plate or only on one of them
