Hello,
I am going to be building my gaming PC and not sure about the thermal paste. So my simple question is: Is the Thermal Paste that comes with the Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO Heatsink good to use on a i5 3570k Quad Core? Or should I look into a different one? If I look into a different one, what would you recommend?
I would also OC my CPU to 3.9 - 4.0.
Here are the parts I plan to start out with.
CPU: Intel Core i5-3570K 3.4GHz Quad-Core Processor ($219.99 @ Newegg)
