Hi Guys....
I've had my Piledriver (FX-8320) Rig for 3 Days now and the noise from the Stock Cooler is Driving me Insane. I went to my Bios and noticed the Fan Profiles were set to "Full Speed" or something like that... I swtiched it to Automatic with a Target Temperature of 52ºC..... It didn't help . Infact I don't think it made a Difference.... the thing spins at 5000Rpm 24/7.
Anyway thats not the real issue, I already set my sights on the Hyper 212X before this issue even occured to me so... Whatever. My Hyper 212X arrived in the mail Yestetday and The real issue is Installing it. I don't have any Rubbing Alcohol lying around the House so I'm curious as to how necessary is it to Wipe the Stock Thermal Paste off my CPU before installing the Hyper 212X ?
