Hello everyone! I recently got myself a Hyper 212+ heatsink along with the proper Arctic Silver 5 thermal paste. I know there are no "true" ways of installing the thermal paste and one is just about as right as the other but does anyone know an easy way to do it or a tutorial on how to do it? I think Arctic Silver themselves have a tutorial but I wasn't sure whether to do it that way or not. I will also be using a lint free coffee filter and 97% alcohol to remove the current thermal paste along with a paper bag to install the new thermal paste. Is this good?
How about the Hyper 212+ fan itself? The instructions it came with are not really that clear so does anyone know a video or something that shows a good way to do it. I know there are a TON on Youtube but almost everyone of those videos does it a little different.
Also, do I HAVE to remove the motherboard to install the fan and replace thermal paste? The HAF 912 has a slot in the back plate that seems to be just there for that purpose of having not to remove it. The hole there is about two times the psace needed to install the back plate of the heatsink so I don't believe I would need to remove it.
Is there anything else I need to do after installing the thermal compound and heatsink?
Thanks!
