you just have to make sure it goes in the middle hole, and out the bottom one

personally, i'd run it up the other way (or side on if easier) as it'll reduce the chance of bubbles getting stuck in there.

Well i just used the last of my TIM on the GPU mem modules so the HeatKiller will have to stay that way round until i can order more.

I have bean using the TIM i got with the Noctua cooler (pretty Good stuff) but what would you guy`s recommend? Arctic Silver 5 or something?

great stuff

but what would you guy`s recommend? Arctic Silver 5 or something?

that stuff is ancient and not that good any more, i usually recommend MX4

soundesciple · 26 Dec 2011 at 12:58

mx4 nice one i will order some today
cheers

Greboth · 26 Dec 2011 at 13:02

rotated 180 degrees from how it is in the pic.

Looking good though, any reason you made the rad box that shape?

in all honesty, any of the high-quality TIM's will give you good results, i usually use whatever i have spare as long as it is from a good brand - only if you are looking for hundredths of a degree would it really matter

soundesciple · 26 Dec 2011 at 13:05

Top Rad in and im glad i got the 30mm thick one because there is about 0.5mm clearance between fans and memory sticks when in.

panyan · 26 Dec 2011 at 13:11

no Gentle Typhoon love in the case?

KiiYzOo · 26 Dec 2011 at 13:12

btw your cpu block is the right way round and the noctua thermal paste is one of the best thermal pastes you can get
