Waterblock ASSY
hmmmm
Apogee Drive's matt black, MIPS's plain black, and Ripjaws's shiny metallic red.
I looooove these color contrast!!!
Lots of people say "GC-Extreme is hard to apply".
I know it's not easy to paste as AS-5 or some other brands.
Here's little trick I usually do.
Hope this helps someone.
First, place MB as this picture. (if you're left handed, opposite way)
Mostly PCI slot side is the way to easy access. (if MB layout is different and there's more space, place that empty side to your dominant hand)
Paste plenty amount of GCE on the other side of the edge.
(don't worry about too much paste, it won't remain much on the HS anyway.)
THIS IS THE POINT.
like this picture
lean credit card (scraper or any hard plastic which can cover whole HS width.) about 10-20 degree.
*don't stand the card. Lean low and keep that angle.
Then, from left edge starting point, push down the card little bit,
slide the card to right straight. (don't stop the card, do this w/ once smooth non-stop movement.)
That's it!
Even your first try is no good, after couple times of practice, it's gonna be very easy.
I'll probably put some more updates later tonight.
Thanx all.
