Hey guys,
I'm looking to upgrade from my 120mm Asetek cooler to a CoolerMaster ML360R. I recently got into overclocking and my 8086k was getting quite hot at 5.2 GHz (who would have guessed?).. one core was throttling often. I understand that delidding is an option, and I may consider doing that when I replace the cooler. My case has room for 3 360mm coolers, so I have no worries about that. I'm just curious about how much of a difference will I see between a 120 vs. a 360? Additionally, anything I should know when replacing an AIO cooler? Best brand of thermal paste to get for when I replace it? The ML360R comes with some paste, but I'm sure its nowhere near the best.
