RE: Antec ISK 300-65 HTPC A6-3500 - Sdpbc - 2012-04-11 Btw, if one wanted to go completely fanless with this build, would the 120w picopsu linked below work? http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=119920 Also, I don't hear anyone speak of Using thermal compound/paste with their builds. Is this not needed with htpc's, or wouldn't help dissipate heat? Have never built a pc before so have no clue, but recall in the laptop forums this was a common tweak when upgrading cpu's.

Have never built a pc before so have no clue, but recall in the laptop forums this was a common tweak when upgrading cpu's.Thermal paste is a must have, the only question is what brand to use. Most CPUs come from the OEM with thermal paste pre-installed on the factory heatsink. If you use an aftermarket cooler then they typically include some thermal paste in the package as well.

RE: Antec ISK 300-65 HTPC A6-3500 - Sdpbc - 2012-04-11 ah...didn't realize it was already applied.

It's not already applied when you buy a CPU or cooler, you will just be supplied with some thermal compound in a little tube or something. You can most likely find a video on YouTube that will show you how to actually apply the thermal compound. Should help when it comes to putting your computer together. Hope this helps!
