=== This Week's Qs ===

From Chris G:
Hey guys,
At the moment, I have an i5-3470 with an ASUS H61 motherboard. When I was less involved in the computing industry, I made a mistake when installing my Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO. What I did was use ALL of the thermal paste provided with the cooler.
After learning more about computers, I realized my mistake and removed my 212 EVO to see what the damage was. It turns out; I managed to get thermal paste inside the socket, as well as somehow bending a pin. I managed to straighten the pin, however I couldn't get rid of the thermal paste without possibly damaging the socket further, but my PC seems to be running just fine, and I don't seem to be getting any less performance out of my CPU.
My question is, can thermal paste inside the socket cause long term damage to the CPU/Socket? (The paste is not touching the CPU at all, just surrounding the lower part of the pins)
Thanks guys, and have a nice day

From Nikolaos K:
Hi.
I have noticed that you use some kind of matrix screensaver at the newegg studio. Could you please tell me which one is it or where to find it?
Thank you.

From M. Bayar:
Hi Q and Egg,
I've got an Asus H97 motherboard. It has 4 SATA ports.
I want to hook up 2 SSD's in RAID 0 and 2 HDD's in RAID 1 to it. Is this doable?
Thanks

From Samsher:
Hey I'm upgrading to x99 with the Intel i7 5820k on the Asus x99 deluxe board. If I already have the ROG Asus z97 do I have to get another copy of windows 8.1?
