Anyway.

If im getting a brand spanking new pc, is it better for me to get some thermal paste and remove the standard stuff? as i will be using a different cooler, and not the retail one.

Would you also recommend this MX4 stuff?

Basically right, the Artic Silver5 and MX-4 are both great.

But the Artic Silver5 is electrically conductive, get it even slightly on your fingers then on the wrong area and poof.

The MX-4 isnt conductive.

If Stulid recommends it then it's good enough for me.

Stulid = HW god!

But There is a couple of others who I do admire for all the help they given me

Christ i am glad you told me that.

Also did you even twig about the mobo you spec'd me lol.

In the manual, mentions LOW EMI - And it's designed to prevent damage due to static lol

Low EMI means low electro-magnetic interference emission

Meaning it produces less electro magnetic noise, for things like a wireless router, phones, or wireless headphones, and is no more immune to static shocks than others.

But really, it's mainly marketing BS.

Sorry the mobo has this

Anti-Surge Protection
This special design prevents expensive devices and the motherboard from damage caused by power surges from switching power supply (PSU).

That means its damo proof lol
