Hello everyone,

I tried to install my Corsair H60 liquid cooler on my core i7 4820k.

As we know, H60 come with preapplied thermal paste.

3 minutes later, I reseated the CPU cooler.

Question is, do I need to buy a tube of thermal paste before installing H60 again?

Thank you

Yes, you do.

Just wondering, why did you reseat the CPU Cooler...?

You'd also need Isopropyl Alcohol (70% or higher) as well to clean off the waterblock and the CPU before reapplying thermal paste.

Arctic Silver MX-4 would be a good choice.
