G'day Men, I have here sitting before me a brand new Volcanoe7+ and a tube of Artic Silver.
The instructions that came with it are as useful to me as a handbrake on a hang-glider:wow:
I have 2 sets of instructions on their web page (A1254). Which one will be applicable to me??
Thermal paste - What is a thin layer?, just a coverage? 1mm/2mm? - Forget this found the answer
How long does it take to dry? [the paste] before I can use the PC? - It appears a few hours will do.
Will I find any other "paste" to remove from the present [standard] Heat Sink and fan]?
Wiring?? The power wire is self-explanatory.
The yellow wire goes to the Fan header (RPM Signal), but there are 2 of them, one with a white connector box[which comes out of the assembly itself), the other brown, (which comes out of a connector halfway to the Fan speed Controller)? see pic below--
The Controller itself - I was going to mount that in a spare bay between the CD drives, but the play in the screws looks very minimal. Where do the majority of you blokes put it???
Hope I havn't asked too much in one post but I don't want to stuff this up.
Thanks men
