Ok building a new tower and need some advice from the computer gods !! I bought a Antec 902 case, have a Asus 1730 board with a AMD 1065 six core cpu (6 months old) from my current tower, 16 gigs of corsair ddr3, a tb Western Digital 7200 sata hd, a dual layer sata dvd-rw and a sata dvd-rom, a seasonic 520 watt modular power supply, and a pny geforce gt 430 video card (1 gig ddr3 -- I don't game so I think it will be ok !) I may install a vantec 3.5 media card reader, but that's no big deal.
My concern is the corsair h60 I got for it. The included installation guide isn't much help, so hopefully, someone will take pity on me and offer some advice and answer a few questions. Do I have to change the backplate for the AMD install ?? How do I do a push/pull fan set-up ?? Do I need thermal paste between the cpu and block ?? What's the best way to clean off the old paste from the current heat sink and fan, so I can apply new paste if needed ?? And -- how much to use ?? Any useful advice would be great !! Pics are better !! Videos make you a hero !! Yes--alot on youtube but not very detailed, or you can't see what they are doing !! Thanks !!
