Hello Peeps, since retiring due to being diagnosed with chronic illnesses I am not up to date with the latest and greatest. So I need some help please?
I just purchased a Intel 13600K and a MSi S1700 ATX MAG Z790 Tomahawk WiFi DDR4 motherboard and I am wondering if I need to add washers or a contact plate so the IHS isn’t bent or causes heat issues?
I have read conflicting stories on the subject. But thought it best to ask experienced and pro builders about this. Like I said since retiring all this latest and greatest technology eludes me 😳.
So any help will be greatly appreciated and thank you on advanced!
As others have said apart from the LianLi option. Arctic Liquid Freezers are your best bet. The radiators themselves are thicker than the others which means they cool better.
Plus the main pump has a little fan on it to keep the VRM’s cooler which in turn extends the life of your motherboard.
Been using them for years.
Although in saying that. I am currently doing an upgrade to a 13600K and MSI Tomahawk motherboard.
But on eBay last week I saw a Cougar Helo 360 which was $209.00 but with my eBay Plus membership only cost me $160.00 and I got free two day delivery. So I thought I might give this a go after reading the reviews on it. Plus you can easily refill the coolant and it actually comes with a bottle of coolant included.
Plus I bought some Cougar Vortex fans to replace the ones that come with it.
