so i got the new card, and i got the swifty pelt block, time to go at it!

few questions :

its got the insulation on it already (for the pelt) do i have to insulate the back of the vid card? (with a mouse pad...guy that sold it to me said he did that and no problems)

oh and what size screws do i need to mount it? ive got 2 screws with it, but way too short, so i gotta go to the hardware store and grab some with nuts to secure em
 
If it's a stock 80W pelt in there no, you do not need to insulate the back of the card. I'd also recommend a 172W upgade if it is 80W.
