Thermal Compound

[c-hri-s]

Hi,

Just thinking, and on my order I have the following items specified:

Processor Cooling COOLIT ECO II A.L.C FAT BOY (ADVANCED LIQUID COOLER) (£79)
Thermal Paste ARCTIC MX-4 EXTREME THERMAL CONDUCTIVITY COMPOUND (£9)

I didn't choose the thermal paste, it was automatically added to the order and I couldn't remove/change it.
Given the cooler I've selected comes with thermal paste pre-applied, what do I need more of it for?

Its doing that because its an overclocked system, the TIM on the coolit is replaced with the more suited Arctic paste.

Perfect, thanks
