I wanna use those two AC 7 PRO + Arctic Silver 5 for cooling my E6600
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835186134
I Choose the AC Freezer 7 Pro, beacuse it's easy to install & Quiet
I have 3 question:

1. Does those two will do the job?

2. how to use the Arctic Silver? (it's my first time..!) do i need to peel the
heat-dissipating surface that comes with the Freezer 7 Pro?

3. Maybe i don't need the Arctic Silver 5....?

Thank you for your help

The ArcticCooling Freezer 7 Pro comes with a material applied to the heatsink surface. It's made by AC and it aint bad, IMO. If you dont want to apply Arctic Silver then just clean the surface of your 6600 and slap on the ACF7P.

What I do......get some ArctiClean 1 and 2 solution......clean to a shine the CPU and ACF7P..............follow the directions on the Arctic Silver web page and apply the material and then slap on the heat sink.

I put a very thin line down the middle of the CPU and cross that line horizontally in two places about an inch apart, just like in the directions and your done.

Here's a link:http://www.frozencpu.com/products/3...r_and_Surface_Purifier_-_240ml_Kit.html?tl=g8
and another:http://www.frozencpu.com/products/3...hermal_Compound_-_35_Grams.html?tl=g8c127s447

To answer your questions......Arctic Silver 5 is good stuff, but essentially user discretion. I use it, but I've also just used the stuff AC puts on their sinks and it is fine too.
You cant "peel" it off......you need a cleaning solution, either pure isopropyl alcohol or ArctiClean.....I use ArctiClean (it smells nice)
Good luck. BTW, the ACF7 Pro is a great choice, I have three and they are great.
Yes, they will do the job very well. VelocityMicro uses Freezer 7 Pros to cool their computers, thats a pretty good company, I'd trust their judgement.
 
Don't use both the AC5 and the MX-1 that comes with the AC Freezer 7 Pro. Only use the thermal compound that it came with.

That's what I said......if you want to remove the material from the Freezer 7, clean it off with ArctiClean or alcohol then apply the Arctic Silver. You can use one or the other not both.....I thought that was intuiative.

I'm not a Newegg hater but don't buy that from them, there many sites that have it cheaper. Not sure why but they went off the deep end you used to able to get that for $20.
