The HSF Fan does it need the thermal tape the thermal compound or both?
One OR the other. I'd reccomend the compound.

Also I have a DVD Drive and a DVD/CD Burner, which do I set to Slave and which to Master?
Depends how you want to config your drives (i.e., two optical drives on one channel or hdd-optical drive configuration).

Quote:
Primary or slave will not matter, they will both work in either role
Yeah they will work -- but depending on the task they may not work well (i.e., DVD-DVD OTF copying with them on the same channel)

Quote:
I would simply put the thermal tape on
Thermal compound is much more effective
