Forum, hope everyone is having a good day....I went to take a look at the cooling section for my CPU and what grease they were recommending only to see them installing a liquid cooled radiator.The part number is Intel® Thermal Solution BXTS13X. Big question I am using a 7th generation processor is installing a water cooler for the CPU an absolute necessary? I've been building machines for about 15 years now and its always been compound cooling paste AKA Artic Silver. Thanks, Brent
