My personal favorite has always been artic silver ceramique. Its non-conductive & non-capacitive properties are handy if you get it on other components. Time to head downstairs and see what the nights labor brought.
Thats what I run.

Arctic Silver Ceramique 2 2.7g Premium High Density Thermal Cooling Compound Retail (CMQ2-2.7G) Or Arctic Silver Ceramique 2.5g Premium High-Density Thermal Cooling Compound (CMQ-2.5G) I am about to change mine out on all my Water Blocks. I use ARCTIC MX-4 now but from what is being said in this Thread Arctic Silver Ceramique is better.

I just installed a chipset plate and its good to go. 2 washer spacers, and copper right to the chipset. Not likely going to have any updates until mid week, if not the end of the week. Going to be guncoating copper, and cutting delrin.

You mean you're going to be applying paint to the blocks? If I have a choice, I'd like mine to be bare copper so I can have it gold plated locally if I can find a shop within reasonable distance to do it.

Do you want it bead blasted, or just left as is?
Did you find a plater yet?

Left as is works for me. My setup doesn't care much about aesthetics :) Haven't found a plater yet but being in a large city I don't think it will be too hard to find one. I suppose I can always mail order it if I need to as well.

I can bead blast it aand clear coat it also. If you don't care much about aesthetics, why not get the gun coat? I lap the bottoms so there is no paint on the bottom

I'm thinking whatever makes it easiest / cheapest for the plater to deal with. If it's got paint on it it might make it so they can't dunk the whole thing in the plating baths.

Couldn't tell you whats easier, since I don't do plating. If its not a show build, the gun-coating is the most durable thing I have. Evgen_AMD

If it doesn't matter to you, I'd just do what you normally would do except no coatings at all applied. I know it might end up looking like ass in a few months when the bare copper oxidizes, but hopefully it'll have a shiny layer of hard gold plate before then :)

Trust me when i say, there is no better place to start then this forum. There are people here that can coach you through anything from changing a tire, reloading your own bullets, reprogramming the matrix, or building a watercooling system. Oh yea, and welcome to the forums! If your interested in one of these, let me know.

Nate, I must ask about the heat pipe that runs from the chipset to the VRM. Does it make contact under the chipset side, or have any reason for the two to be connected? I was just curious what it looked like underneath the heat sinks.
