    Replacing the stock TIM will help nothing as far as overclocking goes. You might reduce your max temps or might not but it's still the internal architecture that's at fault.
    Wouldn't surprise me if it all blew up & some radioactive liquid got splashed all over the room. Almost makes me want to buy a prebuilt.
    Meh. If you've had such a bad luck, what makes you think a prebuild would be any different? :P Just as likely to arrive broken..

    CPU not detected after reseating RAM, tried reseating CPU, still not detected.

    Can't take a picture since the charger for my phone got stolen.

    I had a shitty time building my computer too, my motherboard back plate thingy was cut by a 5 year old, one RAM stick was dead and the power supply arrived 3 weeks late :/

    Buys a PSU because its the only one in stock, gets it 3 weeks late.

    So ul And yeah, the H100 is good, but they have some issues with it. For me it runs great, except that the button on the pump does absolutely nothing...
