Hi All. Finally buying my new 5800x3D, before the pound drops even further. Before I do.... do I need to pay extra attention to the thermal paste?
It's supopsed to run hot, and it's not going to be running on great air-cooling in the short term, so I don't really want to screw this up. But... I'm looking at the pastes online and there's HUNDREDS of them. Or at least dozens. Any suggestions or recomendations? I remember a time when this was a contentious topic, but I really can't tell what (if any) I should get. Heck, does the 5800x3d come with the stuff pre-attached, and I shoud clean the heatsink really carefully?
Thanks
