leon0998 Posted March 28, 2009 Posted March 28, 2009 I'm putting together my CPU (Q9550) with new CPU fan (Zalman CNPS9700 LED) do I use the grease it came with or the Antec silver thermal compound I bought? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebarone Posted March 28, 2009 Posted March 28, 2009 What came with it, the Zalman Z01 stuff? And what type of Antec goop did you buy? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
leon0998 Posted March 28, 2009 Posted March 28, 2009 What came with it, the Zalman Z01 stuff? And what type of Antec goop did you buy?

ebarone Posted March 28, 2009 Posted March 28, 2009 As far as I know, they're close enough in performance that it doesnt matter which you use. I would use the Zalman, since the application is really easy. Also you can get your money back for the Antec. But either choice will yield similar, if not identical, results.
