Power supply?

[Hawker1986]

Looks fine excpet I would say get some arctic silver 5 instead of that zalman thermal compound, AS5 is still on top.

Hawker

Gonna use my existing power supply, just need a couple of extra cables for it.

Regarding the compound, I'm looking for ease of application over performance.

Keep em coming!

[Sputnik]

AS5 is easy to apply.

[WhiteGiant]

Okay, okay, changed to AS5

Ordered! Don't let me down Scan

[Sputnik]

If your going to use the stock cooler you will need something to clean the OEM thermal paste off with. something like akasa tim clean.

I dont think you need to worry about cleaning it properly because it just wipes off like powder when its cold. seriously dont waste your money!
