First time I've seen a stencil for thermal paste. Pretty slick. Also hoping the CPU bracket prevents any bending issues. Probably wasn't going to be an issue but for $7 worth it.
This is my main PC and last time I rebuilt it was 6 years ago. Not going for a huge rig as I don't game all that often. The RX 7600 is twice as fast as my previous GPU and I only paid $260 for it. If I can get another 6 years out of it that will be plenty.
Full specs:
- Intel Core i7-12700KF
- Gigabyte Radeon RX 7600 Gaming OC 8G
- MSI MAG B760 Tomahawk WiFi DDR4
- Thermaltake TOUGHAIR 510 180W TDP CPU Cooler
- G.Skill Ripjaws V 32GB
- dual Samsung 980 PRO 2TB
I thought so too honestly but figured Thermaltake knew what they were doing and went with it. The stencil makes it very easy to apply exactly as much as specified. I didn't notice any splooging when I attached the heatsink and temps were in the 30's at idle so called it good for now.
