First time I’ve seen a stencil for thermal paste. Pretty slick. Also hoping the CPU bracket prevents any bending issues. Probably wasn’t going to be an issue but for $7 worth it.
This is my main PC and last time I rebuilt it was 6 years ago. Not going for a huge rig as I don’t game all that often. The RX 7600 is twice as fast as my previous GPU and I only paid $260 for it. If I can get another 6 years out of it that will be plenty.
Full specs:
- Intel Core i7-12700KF
- Gigabyte Radeon RX 7600 Gaming OC 8G
- MSI MAG B760 Tomahawk WiFi DDR4
- Thermaltake TOUGHAIR 510 180W TDP CPU Cooler
- G.Skill Ripjaws V 32GB
- dual Samsung 980 PRO 2TB
Your DDR4 validates my latest build also the same age since the last refresh. DDR5 just didn’t hit my value proposition goals. Also did 12 gen.
