Thats ok, I personally would change the paste for some MX-4, Artic Silver5, the 920 Kuhler does come with good paste pre-applied from the box also.
 
I would leave it on, if you ever have to remove the Kuhler and re-fit it then you will need some new paste applied.
 
in that case then, i'll drop the paste off the list, my brother bought some a week or two ago so i can probably ninja his, and im tempted to swap the case for the Raven B3, trying to keep the build as close to £1k as poss

ye i think im going to take a gamble on the Lepa case actually, cos that will allow me to purchase 2 Akasa Venom Fans too, which i can use inplace of the Kuhler Fans and put those on the case

Thoughts?
 
The fans that come with the Antec are good, its only loud if you use the Extreme profile in the Chillcontrol software that comes with it.

I dont think the case needs any extra fans.

You would remove the fan at the rear of the case and place this in the roof or something, then fit the Antec FAN/RAD/FAN to the rear blowing backwards out of the case.
 
Ye my brother has a Shinobi and the 920 Kuhler and we placed his on the rear, i will look at putting mine on the top though i think

Cheers for the input Stulid, much appreciated
