Changing my CPU watercooler

Termineyter · 29 Oct 2018 at 15:27

Hey

Just got myself a new corsair H100i pro watercooler.
I know there is thermal paste already on there but...
My old watercooler was ASETEK 550LC ExtremeLiquidCPUCooler.
Do i need to clean my CPU before installing my new cooler?

Thanks!

Ken

Thanks guys, did with some alcohol, and a cloth of some kind for cleaning glasses. Installed and works perfectly. Doesn't get hotter than 50° at 4.2 GHZ .

Cheers
