Hey all,
Thinking of replacing a thermaltake silent boost heatsink (came with comp) with a thermalright xp-90. I don't know if it has a thermal pad or grease (easier to clean).
I'm not sure if it would be worth it. I plan on doing some pretty low ocing, nothing extreme. Temps generally in the low-mid 40s under avg. load, but this varies a lot based on ambient temp.
OK... my real question is whether or not I'd need to replace the retention bracket that is attached to the mobo to do this. If so, that means removing the mobo tray, etc... don't know if I'm willing to do that. If all I have to do is scrape the old and clean, I'd be a happy camper.
Anyone know? The docs on thermalright's site are a bit vague.
Thanks...
Brian
