I just built my first computer. I created a thread and a few of you gave me some feedback and suggestions (much appreciated, by the way).
My build thread:
http://www.computerforum.com/213910-1000-build-3.html
I encountered one issue during build, went flawlessly otherwise.
The one issue: I applied a little too much thermal paste onto the CPU. When I was seating the cooler, a small amount of that paste oozed over the side of the CPU. The paste did not get down to where the pins/socket are at all, just on the top part of the chip but off to the side (not the metal top of chip where it's supposed to be, but the silicon part). I removed the cooler and removed as much of the paste as I could, but there is still some there. Do you guys think this will cause any issues?
