I just got a new GigaByte GA-EP45-DS4P for my new build. Should I remove the heatsinks on it, clean off the factory compound, and then apply my own (MX-2 or Ceramique)? I haven't heard anything on this board about heat, but I've read that after removing the compound from the factory and applying one's own, that there was a great deal of drop in temps on other boards. Give me your opinion on this. Thanks.
