  • Just a little tip that this guy didn't cover (literally). When putting on the thermal paste. Spread it completely over the processor with a card of somesort, apply it evenly and thin. Increases performance more. Thank you.

  • @hihiman actually the thermal paste that noctua offers doesnt need you to spread it and it offers great performance with the cooler

    i have my i5 750 at a stable 4.1 ghz oc the stock cooler wouldnt get me past 3.3ghz but youre right a lot of pastes do need you to spread it

  • Was looking to upgrade to this, but after seeing this video, I definately wont. This fan is just silly, the sheer size of it is ridiculous. For that size, you can go with a much better solution.. Water Cooling.

  • @TheITzZ *illogical lol jus sayin

  • @hihiman actually, i strongly disagree, the pea amount is the right way because spreading it causes air bubbles to become trapped. This greatly reduces heat transfer and so is detrimental to the fan.

  • @hihiman

    hey man, im not sure, some people say if you try and spread it, it creates air bubbles at that isnt good, im not sure, thanks (:

  • thk u ,sir

  • great

  • great video man! you clearly explain everything that I need to know on how to install the heatsink! ^_^

    The only thing that confuses me is how to properly apply the thermal grease?

  • @WhiteWalI I know your comment was over a month ago but you should watch a vid by "yaochoon" called How thermal compound spreads.. its shows why a small amount in the middle is best.

  • Hi mate, thanks for the tutorial, is there any much difference on doing on the AMD3 motherboard? thanks

  • @WhiteWalI a little dot of it spread all over one side of the processor is the proper way. you don't want to use too much, just enough.
