AIO Emergency

[Sevau]

Stupid question, but I am building a new rig with a Ryzen 7 1800x run under a NZXT Kraken X62.... do i need to add aditional thermal paste, or does the AIO come with whats needed on it?

If you're going for water cooling with such a high performance CPU i'd say even if it's included you should get some high quality paste for maximum performance.

The AIO does come with thermal paste applied. I had a Kraken cooler but it was dead on arrival, hopefully your's will work fine.

[Sevau]

if im not going to overclock atm and just went for high end shit, still think the same way? and does anyone know if this cooler comes pre-gooed

 

[Sevau]

too boot, i just want to get this beast up and running, i have thermal paste in the mail from arctic chill, im just gd impatient

[Sevau]

And if it comes with it pre pasted, should i clean it off and THEN reapply the new stuff?

sorry, first custom build in 20 years, my current HP pc has a fanless cooler, so im lost  as to the newest shite.

yeah... but honestly i recommend not using aio water coolers. you don't have a stock cooler to fall back to when it WILL break

[Sevau]

that seems like a shit reason to not use something, is like saying don't buy  the asus strix 1080 ti i did because WHEN it fails i wont have a backup..... just bad logic. I'm not saying your opinion is wrong, I am just saying your logic is flawed....

Just use the pre applied thermal paste. Its good to go

Man on an AIO level you wont get any huge improvements with expensive paste... The 1800x is soldered so any 240 AIO will serve the temps well. Think about thermal paste when you do a custom loop. If you really want some quality paste thats not that expensive get the Arctic MX4. Also OC headroom wont increase over 4.1 GHZ anyway

[joshuawi99]

Also if you want to build a ryzen system wait until the 19th of this month when the 2700x is released...

Was just being cautious, my first custom build in years and had someone earlier with questionable info..... wasn't calling you out, was just asking for clarification. Just want to make sure I'm not under doing anything ya know.... like I said its been almost 2 decades.

would love to, but the crosshair 6 extreme with the 1800x are already in my room waiting to be installed.... the only shit my system is waiting on is the thermal paste because I didn't know if it was safe to use the pre installed shit

You can "google Kraken x62 unboxing". Spoiler: yes.

If you are to replace it, yes. No need, though. Save that for when you remove the cooler and need to reapply, if ever.

[jaslion]

It comes with thermal paste included so just use that.

Also to add onto the will break part. Most AIO's fail after 2-3 years due to their pump giving out.
