Got my new Lepa Aquachanger today.

Got it 100% installed and stood back taking pride in my work. It was not easy!

Plugged in the PSU and did a little pre-flight check in my head and......damn...

 

At least I never turned it on :P

You shouldn't need to spread it yourself. Doing so can actually create air bubbles, so it's better to just use a small dot and let the heatsink spread it when you tighten it down.

That's actually what I did both times.lol...

Used a lot less the second time and tried to make a more perfect circular dot.

By the way...what's a good operating temp for normal use?

I'm cruising around on the web and uploading a few pics and a video and it's holding a steady 35C
