I just got a XIGMATEK HDT-S1283 with the bracket and a e8500. I think in the mobo, the guide says put the thermal grease on the cpu with a thin even coating but in the xigmatek manual it says apply it on the bottom of the thermal base of the cpu cooler. Which one should i do or does it not matter?
also I am kinda confused with the instructions. I bought the cpu cooler with the bracket but the XIGMATEK HDT-S1283 also came with some sort of installers of its own. How do I know what to do? There werent any instructions with the bracket lol.
And I should use the mx-5 thermal grease that I bought instead of the one that came with the cpu cooler right??
