I've got a retail C2D E6600 installation in an asrock mboard. I'm ditching the Asrock and putting it in an Asus P5B-E Plus wth an Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro.
Should I just move the CPU over and put the heatsink on top using the Intel paste that's already on the chip, or do I need to get some thermal paste? Will the thermal paste make a difference?
Incidentally does anyone have benchmarks for temps of the Freezer 7 Pro as compared with the stock Intel? How many degrees will I be cutting off the temperature.
I'm going to be overclocking using 4*1GB of Corsair PC2-6400 CL4 RAM.
