I Want to Learn How to Build Computers

[carnageX]

I'd like to add to the thermal paste comments and say that the new intel chips if you buy retail have the paste pre-applied to the heatsink so you don't have to worry about it, unless you want to overclock, in which case you'll want a new heatsink and paste.

My e6750, though, uses stock heatsink and paste, in a micro case with 2 fans, and the cpu idles at 20c, which is quite good.

Are you at stock clocks as well? Cuz I idle at around 25C w/ my AF7 and AS5 w/ my e6750.

Good to know, but I plan on OC'ing so I would have to get some anyways. But definitely good to know, thanks.

It will become clear after you finish building your computer.

Yeah, I haven't overclocked, and since I don't game, I probably won't.
