I just bought myself Corsair H80i cooler to overclock my FX 6100. It came with thermal paste pre-applied.
Is pre-applied paste reliable?
Also, I don't have the retention bracket right now, and currently finding it online (AM3+). I bought my PC pre-built by iBuypower which was dumb for me. The cooler that came with it didn't need retention bracket so they delivered my system without the retention bracket.
All I found online are plastic brackets. My question is AMD retention bracket all made of plastic? Is there metal-made bracket available?
I wonder about the reliability of plastic bracket, I don't want it to break somehow after a long time.
