Anyhow, now that I got the stock sink off and attached the ram-sinks (btw the tape thats on the HR-03 sinks sucks pretty hard, glad I had some Arctic Adhesive around). Now before I slap the big sucker on.... ....how do you guys apply AS5 to the core? One drop in the middle... or spread it in a thin coat over the whole core? ~cheers PS, Just curious, what fans you guys use for this baby? Picked up a 56 cmf one, hope its enough. __________________ *Eighty Duce is on the loose!* -Intel i7 920 4.2Ghz -Gigabyte EX58-UD5 F9m BIOS -G.Skill DDR3 1600 3x2 Gb 9-9-9-24 -2x XFX HD 5850 1Gb Xfire -TT Toughpower 750 watt -Vertex 128Gb SSD OS -Samsung 128Gb SSD Apps -Logitech Z-5500 Heatware
