Budget Watercooling and Other Cooling Items - Worthwhile or Waste?

jmke · 14th June 2006, 13:49

For my birthday this year I received something that was a bit unexpected - a Thermaltake Bigwater SE Liquid Cooling System. But before I installed it and started the overclocking fun, I had to get a few more parts together. So I went to Bigfootcomputers.com and ordered a Thermaltake Memory Cooling Kit, a set of Blue Vantec slot protectors, a tube of Arctic Silver Ceramique, an Arctic Silver Arcticlean kit, and a Tweakmonster shim.

"Strangely enough this heatsink seems to have been stuck on with pink bubble gum, because that's exactly what it looks and feels like."

LOL

Just for references purposes what exactly kind of TIM is that pink stuff? I know yellow and thick is usually a putty.

that's TIM used for mostly those applications where operating temp needn't be very very low
