Hey everyone and thanks in advance for this amazing community support,
Will that Zalman heatsink fit with the height of the laptop memory? Has anyone previously built out with these components? If so, other recommendations? I used this guide: http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/low-profile-heat-sink-mini-itx,3639.html
and ultimately decided on the Zalman because temps were very close to the Scythe and the Zalman has lower dba. I also liked the Thermalright, but it's price tag was the deterrent.
Also, what temps are you running with this setup or similar? I'm nervous about the M8 running hot, especially with the high power consumption from the MSI gtx 770 and high temps from the 85w processor. Does high grade thermal compound still help? Which compound? I've always used Arctic Silver in the past. By how many degrees Celsius compared to the stock? Water cooling in the M8 isn't an option. I read that reorienting the M8 case fans dramatically helps, but that was just one user.
1. Will the Zalman fit with the tall laptop memory?
2. What is your setup and temperatures?
3. How else can I cool this stuff? Looking for details (not "go buy a better cooler").
