Hello, My first water cooled AMD (FX8350) system build, my first Gigabyte mobo, so I have questions.
Equipment Cooler: Thermaltake Water 2.0 Performer Chasis: Thermaltake Level 10 GTS V03000 Mobo: Gigabyte GA-990FXA-UD3 CPU: AMD FX8350 Ok, so the chasis came with a rear fan that is the same size as the (2) fans supplied in the water cooler package. Can I just use the original fan and one of the new fans? Sequence of Construction: Mount mobo in chasis first. Install CPU into mobo. Mount radiator and second fan to the original rear chassis fan. Then use the supplier grease on the cooler to mate the pump to the cpu (bracket details followed). Other steps or order of installation tips? I did purchase a syringe of fancy thermal grease (Arctic Silver 5). Should I wipe the pump clean and use this grease instead of what the kit shipped with? OS Installation. OK so now I'd have the system completed. Since cooling is critical, I guess I first power up go into the bios and setup the specs (4.0 GHZ with no over-clocking for now) and monitor the temperature to ensure the pump/cooler are working? Just being cautious as to not end up with burnt toast; so any and all words of advise are welcome. tentatively, James
