H110

Hi,

 

Im my most recent build im using a Corsair H110 as the cooler for me i7-4930K and I also purchested Arctic MX-2 thermal compound; My question is this:

 

1, Do I use the compound included with the cooler or use the past I bought?

 

2, Is it worth while configuring the radiator up with 2 additional fans for a push pull config?

    - The addional fans are Corshair Air Series - AF140

If I remember well, Corsair water coolers have the compound already on the block, you can use the stock one, the difference won't be big.

Corsair AIO water coolers have thermal compound pre-installed on the underside of the block. The MX-2 you purchased can be used later if you wish to remove the cooler from your CPU and re-use it on a different CPU.

 

And no, a push-pull configuration will not reduce temperatures significantly. Also, AF series fans are not ideal for radiator use, instead you can use them at the front, back or bottom of your case for intake or exhaust.
