Question about the Celsius S24

[Reetonzzz]

Hi I am looking to upgrade my cooler from a crappy Zalmon CNPS5X since it has a horrible coil wine when my CPIU is under load and am interested in the Fractel Design Celsius. My case is the Fractel Design arc midi R2 so I'm pretty sure the radiator will fit however I was wondering if I need to buy some thermal compound to put on my CPU or if the cooler has it pre applied. If I do need some paste can anyone reccomend me a good one to buy? and also I might aswell get some rubbing alcohol while I'm at it.

Yes, that's fine.

 

If you're looking for a really good thermal paste, while pricy, some Grizzy Kryonaut is fantastic. 

 

If not, Thermal paste comes pre-applied to your cooler.
