Corsair Hydro H105 Hydro Cooler

[ianshep57]

Hi, I am thinking of purchasing the Corsair Hydro H105 Hydro Cooler.
Do I need to use tim on the cpu as well or is it not required when you use a aio cooler?
Sorry for the question but I am a novice when it comes to watercooled components.

Any interface between a CPU and a Heat-sink (In this case a water cooled one) requires TIM to get a good contact on the surface/ allow decent cooling.

Im pretty sure the H105 comes with a pre attached TIM (You will still need to cool up your CPU of course!) , but its not the best stuff in the world and once "used" you will need to wipe off, clean and apply new TIM for each removal.
