Hello

I was installing the h80i Hydro Seriesâ„¢ 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.
