I think you've made a wise choice with the stronger GFX cards. Too bad you can't afford the e8400, but the e7200 with a nice OC should serve you nicely

BTW I bet the Tuniq paste is within a degree or two which is all that really matters. Price performance ratio is most likely better on the tuniq paste.

I will buy some and test it against my MX-2 with aircoolers and watercoolers to see if there is a difference.

But I do not have a D-tek fuzion v2 to test it with but I have a Xigmatek 120mm, Freezer 7 pro, TDX775 DangerDen Waterblock, and an Apogee GT.(all different computers)

Well, if the Tuniq is better for watercooling or air coolers I will use it for sure.

And I would give credit where credit is due.
