Hello all,
I just assembled my new computer and I am quite happy about it. But right after powering it on and going into the BIOS I remembered that I did not apply any heat paste like I had done 4 years ago in my last build.
The intel i7 4770k came with a stock heat sink that seemed to have a layer of something that looked like pre-applied heat paste on its rear side so perhaps there is no need to apply anything further.
At the moment I don't plan on overlocking it right from the start. When I do I will probably go for some after-market cooling and then I will have to get the heat paste I suppose.
So my question is this. Should I go and buy heat paste and apply it between the stock heat sink/fan and the cpu slot or will that not be needed at this point?
Thanks!
