Happy new year all.
Just re-building a system with a new course, m/b and gpu. I've used EK ectotherm to stick the thermal pads on the GPU RAM etc and pretty much the last of my IC Diamond on the GPU itself. I've got an EK monoblock to do the CPU and surrounding VRMs. I was thinking Ectotherm for the VRMS as I've got loads and they shouldn't be a massive heat issue. The CPU I'm stressing about as u don't think I can squeeze any more IC Diamond out the tube and it's not the freshest anyway so it's really thick. I was looking at getting some PK3 but it's going to be days before that turns up and I'm keen to get on with it!
I'm running a 6700K under water and will probably just ramp up the turbo frequency so it'll give me more performance when I need it and behave when I don't. Am I going to notice more than a degree or two difference if I just stick Ectotherm on the CPU or am I just being paranoid?!
Cheers all.
