Building my first computer. Q9450 quad core and plan to overclock. I plan to upgrade the CPU cooler to a Artic Cooling Freezer Pro 7 vs. the box cooler for better cooling. Need some assistance/recommendations on thermal compounds.
Is a thermal compound recommended?
Or is the thermal pad (?) on the Freezer Pro 7 sufficient?
How about Artic Silver 5?
If the Artic Silver is recommended, do I remove the thermal pad(?) on the Freezer Pro 7 first? If so, what is the easiest way to do this?
Thanks for your help!
