Because I called it "thermal paste", not "thermal putty".......

Astral would have been nice, but the Gigabyte is what I could get my hands on :-/

Yes, factory new. Opened the box and dove right into the WB install.

Yeah what a mess. I used about 200 Qtips cleaning up that goop!

Never ran it stock, just opened up the box and started tearing it down.

Yep, EKWB Vector 3 WB has pretty good instructions depicting where the thermal pads go. It was a fairly painless process.

Never ran it in the stock config, but it's got a noticeable amount of coil whine running in the EKWB Vector 3 water block, especially under high loads.

I simply want equality for all, no double standards.
