Hey so i got a delided cpu but i wasnt sure if i should put the grizzly conductonaut on top of the ihs aswell ? So between the liquid cooler and the top of the ihs, or just on the die and the bottom ihs.

Hello, Why I did it (you can skip it if you want!): My brother had a PS3 Fat that overheated almost upon playing a game. Its summer but it would overheat even with the air conditioner on or in mildly hot days. I already had replaced the thermal paste once 3 years ago and 6 months ago, at those...

I have MSI MS-7680 motherboard and I want to know if I can put the Asus gtx 960 mini on it?

Will an Athlon x4 860k bottleneck the GTX 960? I have this CPU and an R7 265 and right now I'm looking to upgrade. If it does bottleneck, which mid-range CPU won't bottleneck it?

My ATI 7870 just died and I ran into a perticular problem. I painted my GPU shroud, so it voided the warranty EXCEPT if I buy another 7870 to switch out the painted shroud for the original. (XFX Representive told me). So... I have the option to buy another 7870 for $150 on like eBay or whatever...
