actually these 2 items aren't a must. u can just use a generic thermal paste and nail polish as the cleaner.

if you're talking about ONE washer for EACH screw, front and back (which totals it to 16 washers for the whole process), then yes.

Otherwise you risk damaging the mama-board.

If you're talking about putting MORE THAN ONE washer for EACH screw, as in double-layering, I don't think it is necessary.

Hope that helps. Cheers.

any idea how to get the stucked screw on the GPU heatsink? I think my last choice will be........ sending it to some workshop who can drill the screw hole.......... the hexagon part on the screw is already because rounded..... Damn it.... I got 7/8 off from the heatsink and only this stupid screw keep sticking on the heatsink... I guess it sure love the heatsink and dont wanna get away from the heatsink. My hand is damn sakit.... I was working on it whole day while watching jap drama... LOL
