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
What the hell is even that ?!
CPU with thermal paste applied in hexagon shapes. Looks a bit weird because I removed the normal CPU bracket and installed one that just screws down. On some sockets the cpus were bending because of the way the bracket applied pressure. The one I installed is completely even.
