Hi all,
So am building my first pc soon and I wanted to know to use pre-applied thermal paste or my own.
I will be using a light over clock to my ryzen 5 1600 to 3.5ghz from 3.2ghz
So first, does the stock cooler even come with pre-applied paste or no
Second, What are the differences in temperature are they dramatic like 10C less than pre-applied or is it like a 1C or 2C difference, also am going to use arctic mx4 thermal paste
So finally is it worth to spend the extra for thermal paste or should I just go with pre-applied thermal paste (if it comes pre-applied)
Also is pre-applied paste good for overclocks
Btw is there a difference in life span of thermal paste
Thank you
