I am putting together a new computer. My info is listed below. I am lapping my heatsink and read on the thermalright site that i must apply the pads that came with the HS. As I will be sanding the HS down the dots will disappear from the HS. Is it necessary to put the pads on? It looks like the bottom of the heatsink will touch the black pads on the athlon xp 2500+. So i want to know if that is necessary. thanks
