JMcDonald84 Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 Do I need to wipe off the thermal paste that comes with it? Or use what i bought.. Artic MX-4....? Notice let difference...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c-attack Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 Probably no measurable difference, but if you bought some stuff to use, go ahead and clean off the pre-applied and use your own so you don't stare at it every day wondering if you left 3C on the table. You haven't, but now you can be sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CCallahan Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 I had the same question when installing the h150i. Found a real world test comparing the stock paste to Noctua's NT-H1 paste. The pre-installed paste on the h150i outperformed the NT-H1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jon96789 Posted September 2, 2019 Share Posted September 2, 2019 I removed the stock thermal paste from my H115i and used Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut... The CPU temp actually went up a degree or two on idle but dropped a couple of degrees under load.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
