video on upgrading to the CoGage TRUE

[Toadster]

got the Core i7 975 in my buddy's system updated yesterday - running at 3.73GHz - but should be able to push it harder now...

my knuckles still hurt (LOL) - but you can see our pain in 13 short videos -> http://bit.ly/75w9hc

No cleanip of the old thermal paste, and WAY too much new paste.

I look when I get home from work. I have to add my megahalems to my i5 750 once I finish modding my case, so might be helpful to see what someone else did, even if it's just to see what NOT to do, heh.

you seem to have a separe tool for every small task. little too many for my taste.

so how does this new setup compare to the old hsf you replace?

You mean, how far you should overclock it?

You mean if you overclock a 975 on good air ? Depends on the motherboard and ram, but probably over 4 ghz.
