Hi all, i have a question (first build ever)
My parts are starting to come in and the first batch included my cooler and paste. I open it up and have a few questions
my
ARCTIC COOLING Freezer 7 Pro 92mm CPU Cooler
includes paste already applied. Do i remove it and apply the
Arctic Silver 5 Thermal Compound
or
should i just skip the AS5 and just use the paste that is already applied.
second,
I plan on OC my E8400 to 3.6 and leave it at that. can I use the stock Heatsink and just give my new AC7 and paste to a buddy?
any thoughts, thanks inadvance
