hi all,
Just about to do an upgrade to my current setup going from a Gigabyte Z270X Gaming 9 to a Gigabyte Z390 Gaming X.
Unlike my Z270 mobo, the Z390 doesn't come with a mobo standard waterblock.
I'm thinking of using 2 x Heatkiller Copper waterblocks on the mobo heat sinks near the cpu socket.
My question is = What would be the best approach as far as securing the water block to the heat sinks = thermal pads, TIM paste (Arctic, etc) or straight metal to metal ??
regards and thanks in advance
