    does the thermal paste on my h80i, look good to use?


    Hello

    I was installing the h80i Hydro Series™ H80i High Performance Liquid CPU Cooler
    and I accidentally put my finger prints on it; couple of pics attached

    Also I was wondering, I underestimated the size of this thing and my original plan was to put it at the front (intake) but the screws holes did not line up.
    so now its at the back (exhausting only) without push/pull not sure it will fit, is this okay?

    Note I will eventually buy a new case

    Thanks in advanced

    edit - damn i had a better picture but its over max file size

    The paste should be fine. Just be sure to monitor your CPU temps for a while when you're booted up and under load.

I've finally pulled the trigger on an i7-4790k and thought upping my cooler would be a good idea due to the 600MHz jump in clock speed on my i5-4670k, so I chose the Corsair h80i. They seem to have very good reviews so I'm pretty comfortable with the choice, my only question is about the thermal...

This isn't that important, all it is is that I'm worried. It was my first time round putting thermal paste onto a cpu, and i sort of used an entire 3.5g syringe of arctic silver 5 underneath a zalman9700. Yes some did come over the sides, wiped it off, I'm guessing there is a layer inbetween...
