my casing antec 900. 2 front intake fan, 1 outtake top fan, 1 intake sidepanel fan, 1 outtake rear fan
please click the spoiler for my pics thanks! please point out anything i did wrong
Heres the stuff with zalman 9700 cooler...after that installed ccf, enuff clearance for the NB silent pipe.
the fan as usual block the first ram slot. no prob, i always use 2 and 4 anyways
so ram,gc,sc all installed...the fan direction to the heatsink is correct rite.
sidepanel closed..the heatsink got some contact with the sidepanel fan. no problem. can still close
this is the proc with TIM. how is it? i think maybe too little? i did use the spread card method.
here's the CCF bottom, lol i guess really too little, like no paste only in the mid ><
so after that i remove the paste, ya this q9300 is lapped..bye2 intel warranty

used 600,800,1000,1500grit
i reapplied the tuniq tx2 again and put extra amount than i did previously.well the manual did say have to put twice extra

.this time after i put the TIM i just put the CCF back, didnt spread it with card or anything. ofcoz the ccf bottom wiped/sprayed cleaned also
