rest of the parts including MC bundle





what else am i missing guys (dont tell me thermal paste as im going to use prodope on this build)

Well, we do recommend AM5 AMD systems over Intel currently due to Intels degredation problems.

But everything looks good, it will all work 🙂


The ARCTIC Liquid Freezer III will come with its own thermal paste so I suggest using that.

Please don't use Prodope.

Then I can recommend paste from Thermal Grizzly or Kingpin, its ocean / minty blue!

They also did a bubblegum pink version for a while, highly sought after taste.
