got my full system hooked up and pluged in now all i have to do is install the cpu and clamp the h100i down on to it.

had two questions though... it already has thermal paste on it how god is that since its already spread on nice and perfect and even i didnt want to wipe it off and replace it if i didnt have to. i do have a tube of artic silver 5 though. if over clocking makes a difference on witch i use i might later down the road after a month of the system proving its stability all stock but only to 4.2 maby 4.4ghz at the very most on the 4670k

2nd question might sound kinda stupid though but here it goes, is the h100i already filled with fluid? nothing in the directions said anything about adding water to it.

1. You should just stick with what they put on there. If you have problems, remove it and apply a pea sized drop of thermal paste and spread it. After that, you should be good.

2. Yes, it is filled

You can leave the paste on that is on there. I left mine on my H80 and it has been that way for over a year, no problems. For your second question, yes, it is already filled.

The pre-installed thermal compound is decent. If you have Arctic Silver 5, might as well throw it on, as you should see a couple degrees better or so.

Second, yes it is already filled :)  That's the beauty with all-in-one coolers is the no-maintenance part :)
