Arctic Cooling MX-4 for $10 and free shipping from the egg is a highly rated premium compound that is non-conductive with an 8 year life. Toss a Scythe Slipstream 120 Low speed fan in the cart as well for silent cooling and secure it with wire-ties from any home-improvement store.cancelled my newegg order. ill order your suggestions. also, you mentioned elastic bands for securing the fan?
where would i buy those.
thanks guys.
You don't really need the performance of the MX-4, but it is only a buck more than the MX-2 and you can use it on anything in the future. Some folks might recommend a higher speed or static pressure fan, but your heatsink is not very thick, so high static pressure is not as important. Silence is the most important. Another thing with the Slipstream fans to note is that after some time they may become slightly audible, when this happens you need to peel back the label and put a drop of oil/lubricant in the center hole to silence it again.
