  • No, you dont need to update incrementally. The best method of paste is personal preference, so long as there is paste and you remove all the things that say to remove them before installing. I use the x pattern usually just because Im used to it and I know it works. Youll know youve used too much when it squeezes out the sides, make sure to clean that off with a cotton swab. Good luck and congrats on your new build









  • Nice list. Water cooling is overall quieter and more efficient than just air cooling. The caveat is that AIO coolers are less efficient than their custom built counterparts. The problem with the AIO coolers mainly stem from how they transfer heat from the CPU, they are built to cover a wide range of different sockets and do not normally have a pump or reservoir and suffer because of it. A custom built loop, while expensive, is the only way around this. The AIO performance will be marginally better than air cooling while trying to keep noise levels low, best not to attempt much Nice list.

    It is a good build with a lot of RAM, more than most people really need 32GB should do the trick unless you do a lot of Photo or Video editing or CAD even. The 6700XT is technically a “budget” GPU but performance can be considered lacking for the price point as its 4K can be a bit under powered. The power supply should be enough, always recommend the most efficient power supply you can afford as they have a tendency to last longer Gold rated being a minimum. You may want a little more storage besides the 2tb ssd cause it runs out quick but you can always add it later.
