How about a mini duster? Better than any cans of compressed air
Thanks matey, that looks pretty decent, will have to have that on my wish list for now, when I get it and use it I'll let you know how I feel about it

This was my go to review for a long time. To me, the winner of that roundup was TG-1, which I used for a while and it was easier to use than AS-5. Seems like AS-5 starts off quite viscous and only gets more viscous as it gets older in the tube. MX-4 user here. To me, TG-1 and MX-4 are very similar to use. Never spent the time to benchmark - if the temps are satisfactory, I have more important things to do then try to get a degree or two.
Really sad to see that x-bit is no more.
Thanks for the article I'll give it a read shortly
I definitely agree on AS5 though I've not took too much time to see if it gets more viscous as time goes on in the tube, never considered that thought
I generally only benchmark for my own self, I like the idea of being able to see where my rig sits in terms of others with similar components and see if it can show any imperfections for my rig though I've not bench marked in a long time, as I normally do it upon a fresh install, cleaning and pasting. I did do more work with them when I did my first ever overclock venture which started here haha, so long ago too but always in my mind a guy I recall named wolf helped me over messenger at the time we had a right good time doing it haha! So much fun!
Aye, plenty more things to do on a PC besides that too!
Thanks again John
Still unable to get that directron website working for me, weird...
Then I think I'll settle with the Mugen Max then as it is considerably much cheaper and more accessible to get for me, only one place sells the Fuma for me whereas multiple places sell the Mugen Max
I'll go 2x fans, though would you personally replace the Scythe fans or stick with Scythe fans?
Checked maximum height limit for the CPU cooler for my case and it's 172.1mm, so the height isn't an issue as the Mugen Max is 161mm from base to top
(according to the
scythe website) I just have to make sure that it can be clear of my RAM
MX-4 is a great replacement for AS5. Great for overclocking as well.
Thank you matey, looking forward to future plans of overclocking the system though it'll be sometime next year maybe towards the end depending on how things play out for me
Isn't clearance a (potential) problem with the Mugen Max?
Thanks again and this is what made me double check, I posted a link just above in response to John but also for you too, so far the only thing I need to make sure is that it will not be an issue with my RAM
