Hmm I thought thermal paste is not really necessary? Anyway thank you for this guide, it's the best I've seen do far, incredibly detailed, better than videos too!
It is necessary... If not, it wun be adequate enough to transfer heat from the cpu to the heatsink...
not necessary for a new heatsink i reckon? Since there are already thermal 'sticker' on them already.
Updated on fan connections info.
Will there be an overclock guide after this Diy guide?
