    CPU Cooling and pasting upgrade recommendations

    New update guys and gals! :) Finally installed the Mugen Max and done a little testing before and after with AIDA64, got 2 images for now showcasing the Mugen Max with a Push and Pull config of the Scythe fan that comes with and a Noctua NF-P14R, swapping the stock cooler for this has proven...

    You'll have to let us know how you get on with it matey if or when you try it :) @John Naylor I've found the block I'll be using for my GPU in the future custom loop, downloaded the instruction manual for it, for those wondering it's EK-FC970 GTX ACX - Acetal+Nickel

    Thanks again John :) I only just cottoned on that directon was a link to get the Shin Etsu, I thought it was a review for the stuff albeit the website doesn't work for me, I used the PC Partpicker link you showed which lead me to amazon for the cheapest one :D I'll have a look at that Gelid...

    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 :) 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...

    CPU Cooling and pasting upgrade recommendations

    I agree 100% with that there, which is why I'm giving both Shin Etsu and MX-4 a try so I can see if I like them better than AS5 :) Although I'll get these 2 first then MX-4 after, trialling both Shin Etsu and MX-4 first :) Haha that sounds daunting :D I've not personally got a leaf blower nor...

    Haha no way, I was more than out the loop for sure and I'm shocked I've never once even considered that they would attempt to make any thermal pastes too! Haha, the wait got too long? :D I'm going to be ordering myself some Shin Etsu and AS5 tonight, quite possibly going to order a Scythe too...

    I've been here and there, long story short had to move, still around the same area but in my own little place, had a lot of family issues that needed to be addressed and for the most part I went in to a recluse mode as I needed a break from all the drama that was lingering around haha! So to cut...

    CPU Cooling and pasting upgrade recommendations

    Haha I like your thoughts on a clean system to make haters hate more, in truth I used to always regularly clean my rig, these past few years, I've not done much in terms of keeping up to date with the stuff coming out or keeping on top of my systems health and cleanliness. I really dropped a...

    Thanks eidairaman1 :) I've seen MX4 before, never used it though as always went with AS5 haha! I might give this a whirl this time and see how it goes :) I've also been browsing a few of the threads here and some I've seen floating about are the Cryorig H7 series, they look pretty decent, I...

    Thanks for the reply MrGenius, I'll go download those applications after posting this message to you two, with you saying you was recommending Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut I'm guessing you're retracting that in the comment from the way I'm reading it and suggesting to go with AIT Cool-Silver G4? I'm...

    Hey guys and gals! :) Hell of a long time no see/speak to a lot of you from here! Hope you're all doing fine and enjoying life! :) I've got a lot of catching up and researching to do to get back on par, finally updated my outdated system specs too! :D Anyway, on to the main part of my topic...

    WC suggestions for CPU please =)

    Thanks Gorbaz! I'm definitely not doing dual CPU and quad GPU, way over my budget and I'm not that ballsy! :laugh: I think I'll go down custom loop instead, I feel more comfortable with that (since I have past experience with it) as opposed to AIO =) Thanks for the quick response and the...

    WC suggestions for CPU please =)

    Hey guys and gals! I've currently got a thread up in the system builders advice section on my project that I'm working on, I've changed a few things there but not updated the post in relation to my updates earlier though. Current parts can be found here on PC Part Picker. I've been suggested...
