whats your price range?

 

oh wait...your in the UK. Sniper will hook you up

 

Price

Well around the £50 mark or so I guess. But let me have the options. If one option is worth the extra money for reliability and effectiveness then let me know.

Thanks for the help.

Thanks again,

im glad to help

 

let us know how it works out for ya

 

If that V12 doesn't do it for ya, there's always Thermalright, but I think that Volcano 12 should be alright.

 

What about the use of Arctic Silver?

Should I mount the CPU on AMD OEM pads (that come with the CPU) or should I use something like Arctic Silver for the job. Do I need an adhesive product or just the standard Arctic Silver 5?

If you're talking about the pad on the heatsink itself, yes get rid of that. It does the job, but thermal pastes tend to do the job much better. Scrape off what you can with a razor blade, and then clean it off with some isopropyl alcohol.
Now, it the CPU has pads on the corners, leave those on. They're there to help protect the die from being crushed ally.

Just regular Arctic Silver, not anything adhesive...unless you want to bond the CPU to the heatsink (not recommended---and I think it voids the warranty). You just need to apply it to the CPU die (the rectangle in the center) in a thin coat. It's just to fill in the micro gaps between the CPU and heatsink to get the best heat transfer possible.

 

I'd have suggested an slk-800 or 900 from thermalright, with a nice panaflo U1A or H1A/B....but I'm too late
